To achieve a complete understanding of how organisms function, there is a need to study
their fundamental unit, the cell, in its spatial context. In recent years, we have seen fast …

Vector-borne plant diseases have significant ecological and economic impacts, affecting
farm profitability and forest composition throughout the world. Bacterial vector-borne …

Cellular heterogeneity in growth and differentiation results in organ patterning. Single-cell
transcriptomics allows characterization of gene expression heterogeneity in develo** …

The plant genome produces an extremely large collection of long noncoding RNAs
(lncRNAs) that are generally expressed in a context-specific manner and have pivotal roles …

The genome is the most functional part of a cell, and genomic contents are organized in a
compact three-dimensional (3D) structure. The genome contains millions of nucleotide …

Background In the past few years, there has been an explosion in single-cell transcriptomics
datasets, yet in vivo confirmation of these datasets is hampered in plants due to lack of …

Cells of multicellular plants possess inherent heterogeneity. Recent progress in single-cell
RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows researchers to classify, characterize, and distinguish …

Late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans is a most devastating disease of
potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Its early detection is crucial for suppressing disease spread …

The incredible success of crop breeding and agricultural innovation in the last century
greatly contributed to the Green Revolution, which significantly increased yields and …

Here, we discover a player in root development. Recovered from a forward‐genetic screen
in Brachypodium distachyon, the buzz mutant initiates root hairs but they fail to elongate. In …
