The paper shows transient cell states in plants encode positional information to direct asymmetric growth through gene regulatory networks and hormonal signaling.

The paper introduces a coefficient of variation-based filter for RNAseq data to retain low-variation genes, enabling better identification of cell populations in Arabidopsis snRNAseq data.

The paper uses single nuclei sequencing to show C4 photosynthesis evolves through rewiring of cell identity networks from C3 plants.
