Plant meristems perpetually generate new cells for the initiation, growth and differentiation of various cell types and organs. CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED (CLE) genes encode plant specific peptides exerting indispensable functions in a multitude of these developmental processes. Previously, we have described a CLE40 signaling module that regulates stemness in the distal root meristem (DRM). Here, we show that CLE40 is additionally needed to maintain the proximal root meristem (PRM). We demonstrate that in cle40 mutants, meristematic cells differentiate prematurely, resulting in shortened PRMs and ultimately, reduced root growth. Furthermore, we link these effects to increased cytokinin signaling that can be circumvented by preventing the perception of cytokinin. We highlight how increased cytokinin signaling leads to a change in auxin distribution mediated by SHORT HYPOCOTYL 2 (SHY2), which is ectopically activated if CLE40 is not active. Finally, we propose that the receptor BARELY ANY MERISTEM 1 (BAM1), but not its homolog BAM2, perceives CLE40 in the PRM.
