Cover Story: Single-cell omics are transforming our understanding of legume biology by revealing complex mosaics of cell states. Single-cell omics and spatial transcriptomics uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying plant development, growth, and environmental responses, while also enabling comparison of genetic variation among ecotypes and species at cellular resolution. Combined with advanced computational analyses and genome-editing technologies, this integrated framework offers a powerful path toward engineering higher-yielding, nutrient-rich, and stress-resilient legumes. View this paper
