Over the moon to share @danzhanghappy et al’s #preprint “Opposite polarity programs regulate asymmetric subsidiary cell divisions in grasses” - we identified a novel, distal polarity domain formed by the POLAR homolog in #Brachypodium@biorxiv_plantsbiorxiv.org/content/10.110…🧵/1
We transcriptionally profiled the unique bdmute phenotype–viable but no stomatal subsidiary cells (SCs)–to identify genes associated with SC formation -> 4th most downregulated gene = BdPOLAR!! /2
