Review: Tackling plant phosphate starvation by the roots (Devel. Cell)
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe root is remarkably responsive to nutrient status of both the local environment and the whole plant. These external and internal factors affect the expression of transporters, interactions with mycorrhizal symbionts and also the overall pattern of growth and development of the root system. In this…
Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals developmental trajectories of Arabidopsis root cells
Plant Science Research WeeklyNew advances in sequencing technologies have made possible the understanding of the dynamics of developmental processes in an unprecedented manner. In a recent study, Denyer, Ma, et al. profiled nearly 5,000 cells from Arabidopsis roots using single-cell RNA sequencing technology. Gene expression profiles…
