The paper identifies transit amplifying cells in maize meristems using spatial transcriptomics and shows their growth and differentiation are independently controlled.

This study identifies spatial and temporal regulation of parent-of-origin allelic expression in endosperm domains using FANS and RNASeq.

The paper links rosette-stage gene expression in Brassica napus to field-grown plant yield traits by analyzing individual plants in the field.

BREEDIT improves complex traits in maize by combining CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing with crossing schemes to generate mutants with enhanced growth characteristics.

This study profiles individual maize plants in the field to link genes to functions and phenotypes, showing field data can predict gene function and plant traits as effectively as lab data.
