The most plausible hypothesis to explain why species richness is higher in tropical than in temperate regions is that

#XL - R Botany
  1. tropical communities are younger.
  2. tropical regions generally have more available water and higher levels of solar radiation.
  3. higher temperatures cause more rapid speciation.
  4. diversity increases as evapotranspiration decreases

Following figure regarding to regulatory network in the Arabidopsis shoot meristem stem-cell niche.

A. The transcription factor WUS is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the CLV3.

B. The transcription factor CLV3 is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the WUS.

C. Secreted CLV3 protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses WUS transcription.

D. Secreted WUS protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses CLV3 transcription.
