single-cell-sequencing

2 articles

Single-cell sequencing analyzes the genetic or transcriptomic information from individual cells, revealing cellular diversity that is masked when tissues are examined in bulk. In plant science, this technique is transforming our understanding of how different cell types develop, respond to environmental stress, and coordinate complex processes like root growth, flowering, and photosynthesis. By mapping gene expression at single-cell resolution, researchers can identify rare cell populations and trace developmental trajectories with unprecedented precision.
