Walking home from work one day, you encounter a funny little man selling cabbages.

"Pathways" he says
"Secret portals to the biology realms"

"How odd" you think. But the cabbages do look delicious, so you buy a few.

Later that night you cut the first one open.

Perspectives on a co-option of a familiar signaling pathway for embryo patterning, where phosphorylation of SCREAM by MPK3/6 triggers different outcomes. But..Symmetric Cell Division is EXCITING and essential for generating a mirror-symmetric Guard Cell pair😘🌱.

By definition, enhancers can activate from a distance. But with increased distance between enhancer and promoter, the activation drops. To study this systematically, we build a synthetic locus: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 1/12

More details on our recent pre-print:
Alignments of stomata have been described in many species, here are 2 examples: Thym from my kitchen, and Leucadendron from a 1935 paper (Smith 1935 on the orientation of stomata)
What is directing these alignments is unknown 1/12

Phosphorylation‐dependent activation of the bHLH transcription factor ICE1/SCRM promotes polarization of the Arabidopsis zygote
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the asymmetric cell division (ACD) of the zygote gives rise to the embryo proper and an extraembryonic suspensor, respectively. This process is controlled by the ERECTA-YODA...
