So excited to see my first author paper from my postdoc came out. We identified the vascular cambium stem cell factors CAILs and revealed their positioning mechanism.

Identification of cambium stem cell factors and their positioning mechanism Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of terrestrial biomass. Composed of xylem, it arises from one side of the vascular cambium, a bifacial stem cell niche that also produces phloem on the opposing ...

Finally out! We identified the stem cell factors (CAILs) of the vascular cambium, and a mechanism involving a ligand sequestration to position the stem cells. This work is a result of fruitful collaboration with @peteretchells.bsky.social and Tusscher labs. 🧵 1/x

Three RLKs integrate SHR-SCR and gibberellins to regulate root ground tissue patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana Chang et al. reveal that ARH1, FEI1, and FEI2 negatively regulate middle cortex formation via modulating the biosynthesis of GA. They elucidate that SHR and SCR negatively control the expression level...

Good week for those interested in oriented divisions and middle cortex formation in the Arabidopsis root. Out in Current Biology: www.cell.com/current-biol...
