Single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics reveal the cell populations of intercalary meristems in bamboo

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Number 51, December 2025.
SignificanceIntercalary meristems (IcMs) coordinate rapid stem elongation in monocots, but their cellular organization and regulatory pathways remain largely uncharacterized due to their transient activity and inaccessibility in typical model species. …
