Identity is Everything : MYB68 regulates endodermal differentiation and suberin patterning
Plant Science Research WeeklyRoot cells are organized into concentric layers that facilitate the movement of water and nutrients. Among these, the endodermis overlays the root vasculature, allowing it to play a major role in selective uptake. To perform this function, endodermal cells undergo two distinct stages of differentiation.…
Untangling cell-specific root responses to stress
Plant Science Research Weekly, UncategorizedSingle-cell technologies have brought our understanding of complex tissues to whole new levels. Previous methods showed how gene expression in tissues changes over time or after challenges, whereas now these patterns can be assigned to specific cell types, revealing intricate, elegant processes. Here,…
