Original Abstract
scRNA-seq of 85,000 Arabidopsis root tip cells identified 47 distinct cell types, nearly double previous estimates. 12 previously unknown transitional states were identified at the stem cell niche boundary. Gene regulatory network analysis reveals WOX5-dependent maintenance of quiescent center pluripotency.

Species Mentioned
Arabidopsis (rockcress) is a genus of small flowering plants in the cabbage and mustard family, Brassicaceae. Arabidopsis species are native to temperate and subarctic Eurasia and North America, North Africa, and the mountains of eastern tropical Africa. This genus is of great interest since it c...
