Single-cell transcriptome atlas of maize root tips

This project presents a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset generated from root tips of Zea mays (maize). The root tips were dissected from seedlings grown under controlled conditions, and single-cell suspensions were prepared using enzymatic digestion. Libraries were constructed using the 10x Genomics Chromium platform and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq system with paired-end 150 bp reads.The goal of this study is to characterize cellular heterogeneity, identify distinct cell types, and reconstruct developmental trajectories in the maize root apex. This resource provides a high-resolution transcriptional atlas of root development in an important cereal crop and will facilitate comparative analyses with other plant species, functional gene discovery, and studies of root architecture and stress responses.
