Abstract excerpt
During development, cells balance proliferation and differentiation to generate diverse cell types, yet how these transitions are fine-tuned remains unclear. In the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis, stomata form through regulated cell division, whereas pavement cells and trichomes arise through differentiation, making this tissue a tractable system for identifying modulators of developmental decisions. Here, we...
