We are currently working on a new version of our on-line portal. Meanwhile the old site is still operational and available via this link: www.single-cell.be/plant

The Plant Single-Cell Platform at PSB is committed to implementing novel single-cell technologies for both model species and crops.

The transcriptome of each cell practically serves as a molecular fingerprint as it is unique and bundles all information that define cell identity, function, physiological status or sensitivity towards its environment. Single cell transcriptomics comprises the isolation and examination of transcriptomes of single cells/nuclei using RNA-sequencing, in situhybridization and the analysis of chromatin accessibility.

The vasculature of plants consist of conducting tissues (phloem and xylem), a meristematic tissues (procambium or cambium) and the pericycle which surrounds the other tissues, protects and functionally assists the conducting cells. Vascular cells are present in all plant organs, however their position and organization varies depending on the organ and age.
