New Article: "A cytokinin response maximum induces and activates bifacial stem cells for radial growth" rdcu.be/eBbtc

Initiation of radial growth, during which a transient cytokinin response maximum transforms dormant procambial cells into bifacial stem cells.

Excited to share that our latest research on plant stem cell awakening is now out in Nature Plants!

What triggers plants to start growing thicker (radial growth)?
We discovered that a transient cytokinin response maximum acts as a switch to initiate this process in roots.
So proud to share the work I started as an undergrad, now in Nature Plants! 🧵👇
