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

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 …

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

In addition to primary growth, which elongates the plant body, many plant species also
undergo secondary growth to thicken their body. During primary vascular development, a …

The root system of plants consists of primary, lateral, and adventitious roots (ARs)(aka shoot-
born roots). ARs arise from stem-or leaf-derived cells during post-embryonic development …

Understanding how nutrient stress impacts plant growth is fundamentally important to the
development of approaches to improve crop production under nutrient limitation. Here we …

Legumes establish a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia by developing
nodules. Nodules are modified lateral roots that undergo changes in their cellular …

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

Modern agricultural systems are directly threatened by global climate change and the
resulting freshwater crisis. A considerable challenge in the coming years will be to develop …

One of the fundamental questions in developmental biology is how a cell is specified to
differentiate as a specialized cell type. Traditionally, plant cell types were defined based on …
