The roles and regulators of new plant cells linked to root transport

植物基因组学已经转向单细胞分辨，可以精确地研究以前隐藏的细胞类型和细胞状态，这些细胞类型和细胞状态对环境胁迫做出反应，并在不同适应植物种群中有所不同。在这里，我们将继续我们的开创性努力，已经绘制和发现了新的根细胞类型，以确定它们的盐和营养胁迫反应，并优雅地剖析潜在的因果遗传变异。这些独特的细胞标记和调控网络将通过组织特定和转基因工具进行验证，这些工具可以跨多种植物物种工作，以揭示细胞对恶劣环境条件的适应性反应。

Plant genomics has moved to the single cell resolution, allowing precise investigations of previously hidden cell types and cell states that respond to environmental stress and that vary among differentially adapted plant populations. Here, we will extend our pioneering efforts that have mapped and discovered novel root cell types, to determine their salt and nutrient stress responses, and to elegantly dissect the underling causal genetic variation. The unique cell markers and regulatory networks will be validated with tissue specific and transgenic tools that can work across a host of plant species to reveal adaptive cellular responses to harsh environmental conditions.
