Spatial co-transcriptomics reveals discrete stages of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
Plant Science Research WeeklyIn recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) techniques have revolutionized plant biology by enabling the identification of novel cell types, modeling developmental trajectories, and analyzing transcriptional activity at the cellular level. However,…
