Randomized trial reveals gene expression dynamics in barley grain and germination, indicating vital biological processes.
Key Points
This research aims to generate a spatial transcriptomic atlas for barley grain development and germination to understand gene activity over time and space.
Utilized spatial transcriptomic analysis on serial sections of barley caryopsis.
Reconstructed transcript abundance across three dimensions with temporal kinetics.
Conducted trajectory analysis of aleurone tissue during development and germination.
Different gene expression patterns observed across tissues and developmental stages.
Heterogeneous expression detected among gene clusters with some housekeeping genes showing homogeneous patterns.
Identification of spatially specific transcription factors critical for seed development and germination processes.
