Silent master: SPEECHLESS the driver of stomatal stem cell fate and integrator of intrinsic and environmental cues - Yang - New Phytologist - Wiley Online Library nph-onlinelibrary-wiley-com.stanford.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1111/...
Our first study on how the leaf succulent Kalanchoë laxiflora makes stomatal subsidiary cells is finally peer-reviewed & out - and it made the cover! 🌵 🧬 🔬
doi.org/10.1126/scia...
Despite 150 years of evolution, grasses and Crassulacean succulents use the SAME gene to make subsidiary cells! 🤯

Our first Kalanchoë laxiflora story found its perfect home @Science Advances with a beautiful cover image of Kalanchoë thyrsiflora leaves. I am grateful that I can continue working with this incredible new model to learn more about succulent development 🤩

Excited to share our new preprint, a project initiated during my postdoc in the @stanfordstomata.bsky.social, on how plants encode environmental responsiveness in development 🌱
We use tomato to dissect how stomatal production is tuned by climate inputs via cis-regulatory variation in SPCH

🌵Preprint alert 🌵
5y in the works & extremely proud of this one. Xin Cheng & @heikelindner.bsky.social established the eudicot leaf succulent Kalanchoë laxiflora as a dev model.
Like in grasses, MUTE makes Kalanchoë’s stomatal subsidiary cells! 1/n
