Decipher the Molecular Response of Plant Single Cell Types to Environmental Stresses

Figure 1

Root transcriptomic response to a stress (Rt and Rt′) is the sum of the individual responses of each cell type composing the root (t1 to t5; t′1 to t′5). Because plant cell transcriptomes are different between cell types, the cellular complexity of plant roots is not suitable to characterize gene networks. A single cell type model must be used to better characterize plant gene networks.
