PO group any suggestions?

Hi Pankaj,

Thanks for your response.

PMID:11908517 describes phenotypic characteristics of the abaxial and
adaxial surfaces of the leaf sheath. In this case there are phenotypic
effects on both sides, but the authors do distinguish abaxial and adaxial
structures. I would also point out studies showing differential effects of
GA or ABA on adaxial vs abaxial structures (PMID: 8756507,PMID: 9847117),
suggesting an underlying, though perhaps subtle, difference in the sides. A
maize paper, while not speaking to the level of detail of stomata and
trichomes, does characterize a mutant showing defects specifically in
abaxial fate (PMID:17612519), in this case in relation to macrohairs and
smooth cell wall, suggesting that it might be useful to distinguish adaxial
and abaxial structures.

So, I can't necessarily point to a paper that necessarily shows an
expression difference between the two sides, but because the 11908517
discusses phenotypes of structures on both sides, we'd find the level of
detail useful.

Thanks!

We can add it but can you shed some light on how different is the gene
expression in the plant structures that are listed as children terms if
they are on the abaxial/adaxial side.
