“…Single-cell mRNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has been instrumental towards understanding developmental events at cellular resolution over the past decade (Chen et al, 2019; Hwang et al, 2018). Several studies have applied these approaches to plant tissues (Brennecke et al, 2013; Efroni and Birnbaum, 2016; Jean-Baptiste et al, 2019; Ryu et al, 2019; Satterlee et al, 2020; Shulse et al, 2019; Song et al, 2020; Xu et al, 2021; Zhang et al, 2019), but scRNA-seq has yet to be reported for individual cell types in plant embryos. This is primarily due to the presence of rigid cell walls that hold plant cells together.…”

“…Here, we reconstructed a transcriptomic atlas covering early rice inflorescence development at the single-cell resolution using scRNA-seq. Although we could not definitively exclude possible side-effects of protoplasting on our scRNA transcriptome, the removal of 61 rice orthologues of 332 protoplast-related genes collected from maize inflorescence (Table S2) (Xu et al, 2021) did not affect the original clustering, nor the spikelet, floret, and meristem subclustering. This result was consistent with previous reports from maize and Arabidopsis (Ma et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021a) and suggested that protoplasting did not strongly affect our results.…”

However, identification of protoplasting-responsive genes in rice inflorescence samples will further exclude the risk of batch effects caused by protoplasting.…”

“…Importantly, the availability of the sequenced genome and pan-genome resources creates new possibilities of gene identification and gene function analysis [ 150 , 151 , 152 , 153 ]. Further researches that take advantage of novel technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9 and single-cell RNA sequencing [ 154 , 155 ], are promising to provide valuable insights into the genes that control meristem identity and inflorescence architecture in cereals. The accumulating knowledge on inflorescence development can be harnessed to boost the yield potential of crops.…”
