The paper investigates how auxin modulates cell-to-cell variation during Arabidopsis root development, showing it both amplifies and constrains transcriptional variation during organogenesis.

The paper develops a genetic switch system to study the essential gene MED21 in Arabidopsis by inducibly ablating its expression in non-essential tissues and enabling post-embryonic analysis.

The paper introduces a history-dependent integrase recorder to track gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana with single-cell resolution during development.

This paper develops an integrase toolbox to record gene-expression during plant development by using orthogonal serine integrases and fluorescent reporters.
