Utilizing these complementary methods, we scrutinized cell identities at the single-cell level and presented compelling evidence that all cells in the regenerated <em>Arabidopsis</em> plants, irrespective of their organ types, originated from a single progenitor cell in the donor somatic tissue. Our discovery suggests a single-cell passage directing the transition from multicellular donor tissue to regenerated plants, thereby creating opportunities for cell-cell competition during plant regeneration—a strategy for maximizing survival.","PeriodicalId":11157,"journal":{"name":"Developmental cell","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mechanisms regulating this shutdown remain unclear. Here, we identified that lysosomal catabolism played a role in the exit of the totipotent 2C state. Our results showed that the activation of embryonic lysosomal catabolism promoted the embryo to exit from the 2C stage and suppressed 2C transcript expression. Mechanistically, our results indicated that lysosomal catabolism suppressed 2C transcripts through replenishing cellular amino-acid levels, thereby inactivating transcriptional factors TFE3/TFEB and abolishing their transcriptional activation of 2C retrotransposons, MERVL (murine endogenous retrovirus-L)/MT2_Mm.

Here, we report that basal bodies of newborn photoreceptor cells in the mouse retina are positioned centrally on the apical surface but then move laterally during the first postnatal week, generating cell-intrinsic asymmetry in the retinal plane. After 1 week, when the eyes open, basal bodies of cone cilia, but not rods, become coordinated across the plane to face the center of the retina. We further show that light is essential for cone PCP, triggering a cascade in which cone transducin interacts with the G-protein-signaling modulator protein 2 (GPSM2) to establish PCP.

Here, we identify a layer-specific expression of different receptor-ligand pairs of the Beat and Side families of cell adhesion molecules between T4/T5s and their postsynaptic partners. Developmental genetic analysis demonstrate that Beat/Side-mediated interactions are required to restrict innervation of T4/T5 axons and the dendrites of their partners to a single layer. We show that Beat/Side interactions are not required for synaptogenesis. Instead, they contribute to synaptic specificity by biasing cellular adjacency, causing neurons to segregate in discrete layers, restricting partner availability before synaptogenesis.
