Single-nucleus transcriptome analysis provides new insights into B chromosome elimination in sorghum
B chromosomes (Bs) are supernumerary elements in many plants, sometimes undergoing tissue-specific elimination. In Sorghum purpureosericeum, Bs are extensively eliminated during embryogenesis. To capture this process, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on embryos undergoing B elimination.
