Single-Cell Transcriptome and Network Analyses Unveil Key Transcription Factors Regulating Mesophyll Cell Development in Maize

Abstract: Background: Maize mesophyll (M) cells play important roles in various biological processes such as photosynthesis II and secondary metabolism. Functional differentiation occurs during M-cell development, but the underlying mechanisms for regulating M-cell development are largely unknown. Results: We conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile transcripts in maize leaves. We then identified coregulated modules by analyzing the resulting pseudo-time-series data through gene regulatory network ana… Show more

“…Characterization of transcriptomic regulatory network can provide comprehensive insights into how hub TFs coordinate with key genes to result in functional divergences between two cell types. The single M-cell RNA-seq related network analyses revealed distinct roles of COL8 and HSF1 in the regulation of genes involved in the early and late leaf development [16] , [24] . However, the single BS-cell RNA-seq related network analyses are still unavailable since it is difficult to collect enough single BS cells for the single cell RNA sequencing [16] , [25] , partially due to technique limitation and the structural nature of BS cells.…”

Here, we for the first time conducted network analyses by analyzing bulk BS and M cell RNA-seq data.…”
