1) Nir I, Amador GO, Gong Y, Smoot NK, Cai L, Shohat H, et al. Evolution of polarity protein BASL and the capacity for stomatal lineage asymmetric divisions. Curr Biol. 2022; 32:1-9. (IF most recent: 10.83; Ranking: 17/293; Q1)

This work provided a plausible origin for the novel polarity protein BASL and the emergence of asymmetric cell divisions of different fate outcomes among diverse plant stomatal lineages.

2) Lopez-Anido CB, Vatén A, Smoot NK, Sharma N, Guo V, Gong Y, et al. Single-cell resolution of lineage trajectories in the Arabidopsis stomatal lineage and developing leaf. Dev Cell. 2021;56: 1043–1055.e4. (IF most recent: 12.27; Ranking: 13/289; Q1)

This was the first use of scRNAseq to define cell type transitions in a plant epidermal cell lineage. It was also highlighted in https://news.stanford.edu/2021/04/05/artful-study-cellular-development-leaves

4) Muroyama A, Gong Y, Bergmann DC. Opposing, Polarity-Driven Nuclear Migrations Underpin Asymmetric Divisions to Pattern Arabidopsis Stomata. Curr Biol. 2020;30: 4549–4552. (IF most recent: 10.83; Ranking: 17/293; Q1)

This work made the unexpected finding that asymmetric cell divisions were flanked by nuclear migrations in opposite directions, and relying on two different cytoskeletal systems, but one common polarity factor. This work was highlighted in Arif Ashraf M, Facette M. Plant Biology: BASL Gives the Plant Nucleus a Sense of Direction. Curr Biol. 2020;30: R1375–R1377

5) Mair A, Xu S-L, Branon TC, Ting AY, Bergmann DC. Proximity labeling of protein complexes and cell-type-specific organellar proteomes in Arabidopsis enabled by TurboID. Elife. 2019;8. doi:10.7554/eLife.47864 (IF most recent: 8.14; Ranking 10/254; Q1)

This work showed the promise of proximity labeling for cell-type specific proteomics in plants and for the identification of rare and transient developmental protein complexes. Tools and reagents created in this work have been distributed to more than 150 scientists around the world.
