Paper Talk · Oct 27, 2026 · 20m

Researchers constructed a comprehensive 3D spatiotemporal atlas of rice spanning the entire seed-to-seed lifecycle to uncover how gene expression coordinates plant development. By integrating single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, the team profiled hundreds of thousands of cells across numerous developmental stages to define 119 distinct cell types and 133 subtypes. This high-resolution framework maps developmental trajectories from early embryogenesis to mature organs and identifies trajectory-associated regulators. Furthermore, the analysis reveals the multifaceted roles…
