Zhimin Hou, Yanhui Liu et al. used single cell RNA-seq to analyze the model organism, Arabidopsis thaliana, at three stages during female germline differentiation. They reconstructed the continuous trajectory of female germline differentiation, providing a valuable reference for future investigation of germline cell fate determination in A. thaliana.
