This study profiles root cells from five Brassicaceae species under stress treatments, revealing cell-type-specific gene expression divergence and stress response variation across species.

scCoBench benchmarks co-expression methods in scRNA-seq using promoter-reporter lines, showing imputation improves correlation and biological relevance.

The paper identifies a new TTG2 allele, ttg2-6, which reveals novel roles for TTG2 in regulating trichome morphology through cytoskeletal interactions in Arabidopsis.

The paper introduces SPmarker, an interpretable machine learning pipeline to identify new cell-type marker genes in Arabidopsis root single-cell RNA-seq data, finding hundreds of novel markers and expanding trichoblast markers across species.
