Read the full blogpost on our website New Blogpost! Decoding the Blueprint: How C-SPIRIT’s Aim 3 Maps the Genetics of Plant Chemistry Featuring Aim 3 Lead Olivia Wilkins Because many of these compounds appear only in specific cell types or developmental stages, Aim 3 also investigates where and when gene activity occurs. These insights can help explain, for example, how stress triggers protective chemistry in the roots of cassava or the leaves of tomato. Modeling this regulation presents significant challenges, especially when using sparse single-cell data. “There’s still a lot of ground to cover,” Wilkins says. “When you’re working with single-cell data, you’re only capturing a small portion of the transcriptome. Trying to predict a global network from such sparse data is a huge challenge.” Preview:

How do plants regulate the production of bioactive compounds during stress?
Olivia Wilkins (@oli-wilkins.bsky.social) leads Aim 3 to uncover the genetic control behind it all.
