The process whereby a relatively unspecialized myeloid precursor cell acquires the specialized features of any cell of the myeloid leukocyte lineage. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of granulocyte differentiation. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized hemopoietic precursor cell acquires the specialized features of a plasmacytoid dendritic cell or any cell of the myeloid leukocyte or lymphocyte lineages. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of granulocyte differentiation. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of granulocyte differentiation. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized myeloid precursor cell acquires the specialized features of any cell of the myeloid leukocyte, megakaryocyte, thrombocyte, or erythrocyte lineages. The process by which a myeloid precursor cell acquires the specialized features of a neutrophil. The process by which a myeloid precursor cell acquires the specialized features of a granulocyte. Granulocytes are a class of leukocytes characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. These cells are active in allergic immune reactions such as arthritic inflammation and rashes. This class includes basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized myeloid precursor cell acquires the specializes features of an eosinophil. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized myeloid precursor cell acquires specialized features of a basophil cell.
