The paper uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to study cell heterogeneity and developmental trajectories in maize leaf primordia, identifying potential regulators of Kranz anatomy development.

This study uses multiplexed in situ hybridization to show distinct lineage identities for major and minor vein initiation in maize leaves, suggesting both lineage- and position-based mechanisms in venation patterning.

This study identifies the WIP6 transcription factor TML as specifying vein rank in maize and rice, with implications for C4 photosynthesis engineering in rice.
