Biotic and abiotic environmental cues are major factors influencing plant growth and
productivity. Interactions with biotic (eg symbionts and pathogens) and abiotic (eg changes …

Plant scientists are rapidly integrating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) into their
workflows. Maximizing the potential of scRNA-seq requires a proper understanding of the …

Retrieving the complex responses of individual cells in the native three-dimensional tissue
context is crucial for a complete understanding of tissue functions. Here, we present …

Establishing legume–rhizobial symbiosis requires precise coordination of complex
responses in a time-and cell type-specific manner. Encountering Rhizobium, rapid changes …

Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing technologies capture the expression of
plant genes at an unprecedented resolution. Therefore, these technologies are gaining …

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics have diverted researchers' attention from the
multicellular level to the single-cell level and spatial information. Single-cell transcriptomes …

As the outermost layer of plants, the epidermis serves as a critical interface between plants
and the environment. During leaf development, the differentiation of specialized epidermal …

Angiosperms possess a life cycle with an alternation of sporophyte and gametophyte
generations, which happens in plant organs like pistils. Rice pistils contain ovules and …

Rapid development of high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)
technologies offers exciting opportunities to reveal new and rare cell types, previously …

Mature plant leaves are a composite of distinct cell types, including epidermal, mesophyll,
and vascular cells. Notably, the proportion of these cells and the relative transcript …
