HOMEODOMAIN-LIKE shapes chromatin architecture and rewires leaf epidermal patterns

During development, cells balance proliferation and differentiation to generate diverse cell types, yet how these transitions are fine-tuned remains unclear. In the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis, stomata form through regulated cell division, whereas pavement cells and trichomes aris...

Profiling maize embryonic leaf development and discovering new genes using high-resolution spatial long-read isoform sequencing

Abstract Profiling transcriptome isoforms in their spatial context is instrumental for deciphering plant embryogenesis. By combining high-throughput full-length isoform sequencing and spatial transcriptomics (spatial MAS-IsoSeq) in maize embryogenesis, we identified 285,639 isofo...
