🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the daughter cells actually identical? By combining live-cell imaging and scRNAseq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Read our full paper in Cell: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... @nvukas.bsky.social @trevormnolan.bsky.social

📸 Live imaging provided the answer: immediately after division, daughter cells diverge into distinct roles. One cell specializes in signaling while the other boosts biosynthesis, circumventing feedback inhibition.

🧬 Single-cell analysis showed brassinosteroid signaling peaks during G1 phase. Surprisingly, we also observed increased expression of brassinosteroid biosynthesis gene DWF4 at the same stage. How is this possible, given known feedback inhibition?

🔬 Our lab developed a detailed single-cell cell-cycle reference atlas—led by efforts from Che-Wei Hsu and phase markers from Laura Lee—allowing us to precisely track hormone signaling dynamics across the cell cycle
