23:T42f,Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a developmental process related to the regeneration of tissue-cultured plants, which serves as a useful technique for crop breeding and improvement. However, SE in cotton is difficult and elusive due to the lack of precise cellular level information on the reprogramming of gene expression patterns involved in somatic embryogenesis. Here, we investigate the spatial and single-cell expression profiles of key genes and the metabolic patterns of key metabolites by integrated single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics (ST), and spatial metabolomics (SM). To evaluate the results of these analyses, we functionally characterized the potential roles of two representative marker genes, AATP1 and DOX2, in the regulation of cotton somatic embryo development. A publicly available web-based resource database ( https://cotton.cricaas.com.cn/somaticembryo/ ) in this study provides convenience for future studies of the expression patterns of marker genes at specific developmental stages during the process of SE in cotton.24:T51b,Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. At present, new cotton varieties are mainly produced through conventional cross breeding, which is limited by available germplasm. Although the genome of cotton has been fully sequenced, research on the function of specific genes lags behind due to the lack of sufficient genetic material. Therefore, it is very important to create a cotton mutant library to create new, higher-quality varieties and identify genes associated with the regulation of key traits. Traditional mutagenic strategies, such as physical, chemical, and site-directed mutagenesis, are relatively costly, inefficient, and difficult to perform. In this study, we used a radiation mutation method based on linear electron acceleration to mutate cotton variety 'TM-1', for which a whole-genome sequence has previously been performed, to create a high throughput cotton mutant library. Abundant phenotypic variation was observed in the progeny population for three consecutive generations, including cotton fiber color variation, plant dwarfing, significant improvement of yield traits, and increased sensitivity to Verticillium wilt. These results show that radiation mutagenesis is an effective and feasible method to create plant mutant libraries.25:T511,Epidermal cells are the main avenue for signal and material exchange between plants and the environment. Leaf epidermal cells primarily include pavement cells, guard cells, and trichome cells. The development and distribution of different epidermal cells are tightly regulated by a complex transcriptional regulatory network mediated by phytohormones, including jasmonic acid, and transcription factors. How the fate of leaf epidermal cells is determined, however, is still largely unknown due to the diversity of cell types and the complexity of their regulation. Here, we characterized the transcriptional profiles of epidermal cells in 3-day-old true leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana using single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified two genes encoding BASIC LEUCINE-ZIPPER (bZIP) transcription factors, namely bZIP25 and bZIP53, which are highly expressed in pavement cells and early-stage meristemoid cells. Densities of pavement cells and trichome cells were found to increase and decrease, respectively, in bzip25 and bzip53 mutants, compared with wild-type plants. This trend was more pronounced in the presence of jasmonic acid, suggesting that these transcription factors regulate the development of trichome cells and pavement cells in response to jasmonic acid.26:T468,Over the course of evolution, plants have developed plasticity to acclimate to environmental stresses such as drought and salt stress. These plant adaptation measures involve the activation of cascades of molecular networks involved in stress perception, signal transduction and the expression of stress related genes. Here, we investigated the role of the plasma membrane-localized transp
