[For the first time in the world, a Chinese team constructed a three-dimensional spatio-temporal cell map of the entire rice life cycle] On October 7, the reporter learned from the Yazhou Bay National Laboratory that the latest rice research results, completed by the collaboration of multiple scientific research institutions in China, were published online in the international academic journal Cell on the evening of the 6th. The content is that a Chinese research team has constructed for the first time in the world a three-dimensional spatio-temporal cell map covering the entire process of rice from seed germination to flowering and fruiting. It integrates genome sequencing, single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptome sequencing, providing new research resources for understanding rice growth and development and exploring grain quality improvement.
