RESUMO
In the version of this Resource originally published, the author information was incorrect. Jos R. Wendrich should have had a present address: Department of Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics and VIB Center for Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University, Technologiepark 927, 9052 Ghent, Belgium. Mark Boekschoten and Guido J. Hooiveld should have been affiliated to the Nutrition, Metabolism and Genomics Group, Division of Human Nutrition, Wageningen University, 6708 WE Wageningen, The Netherlands. In addition, the version of Supplementary Table 5 originally published with this Resource was not the intended final version and included inaccurate citations to the display items of the Resource, and the file format and extension did not match. These errors have now been corrected in all versions of the Resource.
RESUMO
During early plant embryogenesis, precursors for all major tissues and stem cells are formed. While several components of the regulatory framework are known, how cell fates are instructed by genome-wide transcriptional activity remains unanswered-in part because of difficulties in capturing transcriptome changes at cellular resolution. Here, we have adapted a two-component transgenic labelling system to purify cell-type-specific nuclear RNA and generate a transcriptome atlas of early Arabidopsis embryo development, with a focus on root stem cell niche formation. We validated the dataset through gene expression analysis, and show that gene activity shifts in a spatio-temporal manner, probably signifying transcriptional reprogramming, to induce developmental processes reflecting cell states and state transitions. This atlas provides the most comprehensive tissue- and cell-specific description of genome-wide gene activity in the early plant embryo, and serves as a valuable resource for understanding the genetic control of early plant development.
