Going Against the Grain: Investigating the C4 Wheat Hypothesis with Spatial Transcriptomics

Tori Millsteed, David Kainer, R Sullivan, Xiaohuan Sun, Ka Leung Li, Likai Mao, Arlie Macdonald, Robert James Henry

The paper uses spatial transcriptomics to investigate the spatial expression of C4 photosynthesis-related genes in wheat grain, finding tissue-specific expression patterns that support the C4 wheat hypothesis.

Spatial transcriptomics of developing wheat seed reveals radial expression patterns in endosperm and subgenome biased expression of key genes

Tori Millsteed, David Kainer, R Sullivan, Xiaohuan Sun, Ka Leung Li, Likai Mao, Arlie Macdonald, Robert James Henry

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to map gene expression in developing wheat seeds, revealing radial patterns in the endosperm and subgenome bias in key genes.
