GreenCells: A comprehensive resource for single-cell analysis of plant lncRNAs.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. With the advancement of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology, it is now possible to investigate lncRNA expression and function at single-cell resolution. Although several plant single-cell transcriptome databases have been established, they predominantly focus on protein-coding genes while largely overlooking lncRNAs. To bridge this gap, we developed GreenCells (http://greencells.liu-lab.com/), a comprehensive database specifically designed to explore plant lncRNAs at the single-cell level. By integrating scRNA-seq data from eight plant species, GreenCells has identified 2177 lncRNA marker genes and 68,869 protein-coding marker genes across diverse cell types. The database als
