The paper shows that the endosperm supplies cell-wall-loosening proteins to the maternal seed coat, enabling maternal cell elongation and seed growth through a regulated secretory program.

GAMETE maps chromatin accessibility genetic architecture in rice pollen using single-nucleus ATAC-seq and genotype inference, revealing cell-type-specific caQTLs and chromatin dynamics.

The paper maps rice chromatin accessibility across 23 tissues, identifies regulatory elements, and uses deep learning to model regulatory dynamics, revealing new functions and insights into complex trait regulation.

This paper introduces UMI-ATAC-seq to improve ATAC-seq quantification and footprinting by using unique molecular identifiers to reduce PCR duplicate bias.
