The differential subcellular localization of soybean transcripts, an additional regulatory mechanism of gene activity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our understanding of gene function is often driven by its expression and, a fortiori, based on its RNA abundance in a cell, a tissue, or an organ. This assumption often neglects the limited correlation between RNA and protein abundance, largely due to post-transcriptional and pre-translational regulation. Among these regulatory processes, the spatial distribution of RNA molecules within cells has been reported as a major contributor of cellular function in microbial and animal systems. However, our understanding of the differential cellular distribution of transcripts in plants is very limited.

Results

In this manuscript, using Molecular Cartography™ and Xenium, two high-resolution and sensitive spatial transcriptomic technologies, we comprehensively analyze the d
