In our Tansley review, we attempted to establish the stem cell concept in vascular cambium the way we see it. I hope that this is useful also for the other cambium enthusiasts. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
We are happy to share RootTracer tools already now if anyone is interested. 5/x
Xin made two version of the LR tracing tool: inducible iRootTracker and constitutive RootTracker. You can monitor LR formation through agar plate under stereo fluorescent microscope and screen several roots/min, and the tracker appears to be very sensitive (nM scale IAA/BAP) 4/x
Overall, the fate of XPP and LRP cells is very plastic, determined by the balance between auxin and cytokinin. 3/x
Have you ever wondered why lateral roots (LR) are formed only in the young part of the root as a result of auxin treatment? Xin discovered that this is because gradual cytokinin accumulation and consequent cambium identity 'accumulation' in XPP cells prevent LR formation. 2/x
New preprint from our lab. Xin Wang developed a handy genetic tool called #RootTrackerwww.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Looks really nice! Very nice to see this out. Professional GIF usage as well, Peter😀
We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist and a phd student to work with us on evolutionary aspects of plasmodesmata. Strong background in confocal and/or electron microscopy is desired. Contact me for more info at ruediger.simon@hhu.de. #plantscience
First of many to come! Congrats!
