It's alive! Our work combining experiments and computational models to show that "Root stem cell homeostasis in Arabidopsis involves cell-type specific transcription factor complexes"! Amazing collaboration with Vivien Strotmann and @yvonnestahl.bsky.social! 🌱🌱 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Our @dfgpublic.bsky.social Research Unit "Cereal Stem Cell Systems" is now on Bluesky! Follow us if you are interested in grasses, stem cells and developmental biology. @simonrdg.bsky.social @schnittger-lab.bsky.social @hochholdingerf.bsky.social @yvonnestahl.bsky.social @cecilialaram.bsky.social

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 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

In our latest work, we provide molecular insights into the age-dependent morphological changes occurring in the root meristem during phase change. Perseverance over many years by BaoJun Yang and Yanbiao Sun. Generous funding by ERC, FWO, VIB and UGent #plantscience www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
