Abstract

The functional regulatory elements of agronomically important plant genomes have been long sought after. Marand et. al. generate a comprehensive atlas of cis-regulatory elements at single cell resolution in maize, providing a powerful resource for inquiries into the rules of multicellular development and for precision crop engineering.
