8/. To improve crop resilience, we must focus not only on survival during drought but also on effective recovery. Next we will work on expressing recovery regulators in specific cell types so stay tuned!

7/ We also found that this immune response is #ABA independent and evolutionarily conserved across Arabidopsis and #tomato (Left- mock treatment, right- pathogen treatment).

3/ Recovery x cell type specific gene activation was confirmed by #spatial transcriptomics using MERFISH @vizgen.bsky.social

So what’s the #biology behind this?

2/ Surprisingly, the recovery response begins just 15 minutes after rehydration!
Bulk & single cell #transcriptomics revealed a unique recovery signature, shared across specific leaf cell types, that emerges only once recovery starts.

@tatsuyanobori.bsky.social came all the way just to make a toast! The dedication 😅😆🥂

2/ In ovules, we identified distinct clusters for inner & outer integuments and flavonoid-rich tissues, we confirmed using MERFISH @vizgen.bsky.social.

These provide functional markers for previously uncharacterized cell populations — a valuable toolkit for plant biologists in a single cell era.

1/ We applied high-resolution spatial transcriptomics across Arabidopsis vegetative and reproductive tissues. This allowed us to map thousands of transcripts to their cellular contexts. In seedlings, we identified and validated cluster-specific genes.
