T. aestivum is a crucial global staple crop, and enhancing wheat production primarily relies on increasing the number of wheat spikes and the weight of a thousand grains. The development of wheat spikes is a critical phase in the growth cycle, significantly influencing the grain count per spike and the thousand-grain weight at harvest. In this study, we conducted a single-cell transcriptome analysis of wheat spikes at the double-ridge stage. We have created a single-cell transcriptome atlas that captures the developmental patterns of protoxylem and protophloem cells within the wheat spike. Furthermore, we explored gene expression changes during the development of wheat spikes at the individual cell level, with a particular focus on asymmetrical expression patterns. Our objective is to provide valuable resources regarding the regulation of gene expression in wheat spike development, the evolution of various cell types, and the identification of specific cellular features that are significant for agricultural advancement. |
