Introduction
Arabidopsis thaliana is a species of eudicot in the family
Brassicaceae native to Eurasia and Africa. Due to its small genome size, short life cycle and ease of
cultivation, Arabidopsis thaliana has become an ideal model organism for studying plant traits
and genetics. Since 2019, plant single-cell sequencing technology has developed rapidly in Arabidopsis
thaliana, and the early studies focus on root tissue samples and mapping the spatiotemporal
developmental trajectory of root cells[1]. With the detailed spatial and temporal transcriptional
information and specific marker genes, now this technology has been extensive in studying the
Arabidopsis thaliana differentiation process[2], tissue-specific abiotic stress responses[1]
and cell-type-specific responses to genetic perturbations[3].
