Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of flowering regulation and vernalization in Chinese cabbage shoot apex.

ABSTRACT: In Chinese cabbage development the interplay between shoot apex activity and vernalization is pivotal for flowering timing. The intricate relationship between various cell types in the shoot apex meristem and their roles in regulating flowering gene expression in Chinese cabbage is not yet fully understood. A thorough analysis of single-cell types in the Chinese cabbage shoot apex and their influence on flowering genes and vernalization is essential for deeper insight. Our study first established a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of Chinese cabbage after 25 days of non-vernalization. Analyzing 19 602 single cells, we differentiated them into 15 distinct cell clusters using established marker genes. We found that key genes in shoot apex development and flowering were primarily present in s
