Spatial and single-cell expression analyses reveal complex expression domains in early wheat spike development

Xiaosa Xu, Huiqiong Lin, Junli Zhang, Germán Burguener, Francine Paraiso, Kun Li, Connor Tumelty, Chengxia Li, Yuchen Liu, Jorge Dubcovsky

Combining 99-gene smFISH across 48,225 cells with scRNA-seq of 26,009 cells maps 21 spatial expression domains and imputes 74,464 genes in early tetraploid wheat spikes.
