Shoot and root apical meristems in plants utilize both similar and distinct signalling mechanisms for their maintenance. An important regulatory role in this context has the interaction of microRNAs with their target mRNAs, mostly encoding transcription factors. Here, we show that miR166/165 plays an important and conserved role in root growth and the maintenance of meristems in Arabidopsis thaliana.
