Any tissue is made up of a heterogeneous mix of spatially distributed cell types. In response
to any (patho) physiological cue, responses of each cell type in any given tissue may be …

Insights from sequenced genomes of major land plant lineages have advanced research in
almost every aspect of plant biology. Until recently, however, assembled genome …

Conventional gene expression studies analyze multiple cells simultaneously or single cells,
for which the exact in vivo or in situ position is unknown. Although cellular heterogeneity can …

Recent advances of single-cell transcriptomics technologies and allied computational
methodologies have revolutionized molecular cell biology. Meanwhile, pioneering …

Phylogenetic relationships among seed plant taxa, especially within the gymnosperms,
remain contested. In contrast to angiosperms, for which several genomic, transcriptomic and …

Glutamine synthetase (GS) is a key enzyme responsible for the incorporation of inorganic
nitrogen in the form of ammonium into the amino acid glutamine. In plants, two groups of …

Abstract WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) genes are key players controlling stem
cells in plants and can be divided into three clades according to the time of their appearance …

A comparative transcriptomic study and a single-cell metabolome analysis were combined
to determine whether parenchymal ray cells contribute to the biosynthesis of monolignols in …

Nitrogen (N) is frequently a limiting factor for tree growth and development. Because N
availability is extremely low in forest soils, trees have evolved mechanisms to acquire and …

Despite tremendous advancements in high throughput sequencing, the vast majority of tree
genomes, and in particular, forest trees, remain elusive. Although primary databases store …
