New preprint up: "Single-cell-level response to drought in Sorghum bicolor reveals novel targets for improving water use efficiency."
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Here we show that drought response supersedes differences in cell identity and identify key transcriptional regulators.

This was a long time (too long) in the works, but I'm thrilled that it is finally out:
