Abstract: The main result of this note is that the toric degenerations of flag varieties associated to string polytopes and certain Bott-Samelson resolutions of flag varieties fit into a commutative diagram which gives a resolution of singularities of singular toric varieties corresponding to string polytopes. Our main tool is a result of Anderson which shows that the toric degenerations arising from Newton-Okounkov bodies are functorial in an appropriate sense. We also use results of Fujita which show that Newton-Okounkov bodies of Bott-Samelson varieties with respect to a certain valuation $u_{max}$ coincide with generalized string polytopes, as well as previous results by the authors which explicitly describe the Newton-Okounkov bodies of Bott-Samelson varieties with respect to a different valuation $u_{min}$ in terms of Grossberg-Karshon twisted cubes. A key step in our argument is that, under a technical condition, these Newton-Okounkov bodies coincide.
