This study uses single-nucleus transcriptomics to identify stage-specific transcriptional programs in tomato roots colonized by Rhizophagus irregularis, revealing key regulatory factors and cellular responses during arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.

The paper identifies a Myb-dominated gene regulatory network that controls sexual cell fate transitions in diatoms, revealing its role in size expansion and ploidy transitions.

The paper identifies conserved transcriptional reprogramming in nematode-infected root cells across Arabidopsis and rice, revealing a key regulator involved in nematode resistance.

The paper identifies morphogenic genes that enhance maize transformation frequency by analyzing gene regulatory networks in induced somatic embryos.

The study identifies 20 cell types in Arabidopsis root secondary growth using single-cell RNA sequencing and lineage tracing, revealing dynamic parenchyma cell diversity and functional roles.

The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal dual drought response mechanisms in Arabidopsis leaf mesophyll cells.

Scywalker provides a scalable analysis pipeline for nanopore single-cell transcriptome data, showing good correlation with short-read analyses and enabling isoform-level cell-type-specific expression identification.

The paper shows E2FA and E2FB transcription factors in Arabidopsis differently contribute to the plant response to DNA replication defects, working cooperatively with SOG1.
