Data from: The quiescent centre of the root apical meristem: Conceptual developments from Clowes to modern times

This data for the review article "The quiescent centre of the root apical meristem: Conceptual developments from Clowes to modern times" published in Journal of Experimental Botany by Joseph G. Dubrovsky and Victor B. Ivanov (https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erab305) includes a complete bibliography of Frederick Albert Lionel Clowes in chronological order. The referred article is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Clowes, who during his career investigated organization, function, and maintenance of the root apical meristem in plants and who discovered and formulated a concept of the quiescent centre, as a group of cells now considered to be stem cells in plant roots. In the main text, the authors discuss how our understanding and concepts about the root apical meristem and the quiescent centre changed over time, from F.A.L. Clowes to the present times. Before this work, the full bibliography of F.A.L. Clowes was unavailable. This data fills in this gap.
