Happy to release two new manuscripts from the lab:
GreenGate 2.0:
Our additions to the Modular Cloning system GreenGate allows the easy assembly and stacking of complex transcriptional units.
See the paper here.
Modelling the auxin dynamics and mechanics of lateral root initiation:
We show that the growth of pericycle cells is initially limited by the endodermis, resulting in a modest initial growth. However, this modest growth is sufficient to redirect auxin to the overlying endodermis, which then actively accommodates the growth, allowing for the subsequent development of the lateral root.
See the preprint here.
In this manuscript we analyzed when and how the typical features of the quiescent center of the root apical meristem get established as lateral root develop.
