Abstract
In this Perspective, Diane Dickel and colleagues review recent progress and opportunities in applying single-cell sequencing and microfluidics methods to plants. The authors highlight the need for new tools developed with plants in mind, and advocate for the creation of a centralized, open-access database to house plant single-cell data.
