The paper identifies cell position as the main factor determining cell identity in Ectocarpus filaments, with shape playing a secondary role.

This study demonstrates that four core C4 pathway reactions are operating in transgenic rice, establishing in vivo flux for a functional carbon-concentrating mechanism.

This study shows that maternal tissues guide the orientation of the Ceratopteris embryo axis, aligning its root pole toward maternal rhizoids, promoting progeny establishment through a nurturing strategy.

The paper develops Chloro-Count, a deep learning tool, to quantify chloroplast occupancy in rice bundle sheath cells and shows that OsHAP3H loss increases chloroplast numbers by 50%.

The paper uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to study cell heterogeneity and developmental trajectories in maize leaf primordia, identifying potential regulators of Kranz anatomy development.

This study uses multiplexed in situ hybridization to show distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation in maize leaves, suggesting both lineage- and position-based mechanisms in venation patterning.

This study identifies the WIP6 transcription factor TML as specifying vein rank in maize and rice, with implications for C4 photosynthesis engineering in rice.

The paper investigates how cell identity in Ectocarpus is influenced by age, shape, or position using transcriptomic analysis of mutant and wild-type strains.
