Show PostFinally this work from the @rdplab.bsky.social is out and I am so proud of it! doi.org/10.7554/eLif... We find that the petal homeotic regulator PhDEF mostly acts in the epidermis in petunia petals: most of its binding and regulatory targets are there, with a limited action in the mesophyll (1/9)
Show PostOur preprint now peer-reviewed and published 🌾🔬🧬 Grasses have a signature short-long leaf epidermal pattern: small stomata & hair cells spaced by long pavement cells, but how is it built? Premitotic BdPL1 sets cell-size asymmetry; postmitotic BdBRX-solo/BdYDA1 enforces fate. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...
Show PostFinally, none of this happens without support for basic research – in this case, from the US National Science Foundation. And that support wouldn’t reach any of us doing the work without the efforts of the people at NSF – thanks to those federal employees from all of us!
