🌱🧬Single-cell & spatial omics reveal cellular heterogeneity in plants but data integration & interpretation remain challenging

Embedding these data in evolutionary models & moving from atlases to mechanisms could unlock their potential for crop improvement #plantsci academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...

Plant metabolism proves more complicated than previously understood

Plants have evolved fiendishly complicated metabolic networks. For years, scientists focused on how plants make secondary metabolites, the compounds that plants produce to enhance their defense and survival mechanisms.
