This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to identify gene regulatory networks in mucilage-producing roots across maize, sorghum, and Medicago truncatula, revealing shared and species-specific regulators.

The paper identifies McHY5 as a transcription factor that activates PPCK1, a key CAM enzyme, during the C3-to-CAM transition in ice plant, revealing regulatory divergence between CAM and C3 species.

The paper uses single-nucleus transcriptomics to identify auxin-driven mechanisms in poplar that enhance drought tolerance through xylem plasticity.

The paper uses snRNA-seq to study CAM induction in ice plant mesophyll cells, revealing circadian gene expression differences between CAM and C3 pathways.
