    Abstract In recent years, single-cell genomics, coupled to imaging techniques, have become the state-of-the-art approach for characterising biological systems. In plant sciences, a variety of tissues and species have been profiled, providing an enormous quantity of data on cell identity at an unprecedented resolution, but what biological insights can be gained from such data sets? Using recently published studies in plant sciences, we will highlight how single-cell technologies have enabled a better comprehension of tissue organisation, cell fate dynamics in development or in response to various stimuli, as well as identifying key transcriptional regulators of cell identity. We discuss the limitations and technical hurdles to overcome, as well as future directions, and the promising use of single-cell omics to understand, predict, and manipulate plant development and physiology.

    Abstract Plant intra-individual and inter-individual variation can be determined by the epigenome, a set of covalent modifications of DNA and chromatin that can alter genome structure and activity without changes to the genome sequence. The epigenome of plant cells is plastic, that is, it can change in response to internal or external cues, such as during development or due to environmental changes, to create a memory of such events. Ongoing advances in technologies to read and write epigenomic patterns with increasing resolution, scale and precision are enabling the extent of plant epigenome variation to be more extensively characterized and functionally interrogated. In this Review, we discuss epigenome dynamics and variation within plants during development and in response to environmental changes, including stress, as well as between plants. We review known or potential functions of such plasticity and emphasize the importance of investigating the causality of epigenomic changes. Finally, we discuss emerging technologies that may underpin future research into plant epigenome plasticity.

    Abstract Methylation of DNA at cytosine bases is an important DNA modification underlying normal development and disease states. Despite decades of research into the biological function of DNA methylation, most of the observations so far have relied primarily on associative data between observed changes in DNA methylation states and local changes in transcriptional activity or chromatin state processes. This is primarily due to the lack of molecular tools to precisely modify DNA methylation in the genome. Recent advances in genome editing technologies have allowed repurposing the CRISPR-Cas9 system for epigenome editing by fusing the catalytically dead Cas9 (dCas9) to epigenome modifying enzymes. Moreover, methods of recruiting multiple protein domains, including the SunTag system, have increased the efficacy of epigenome editing at target sites. Here, we describe an end-to-end protocol for efficient targeted removal of DNA methylation by recruiting multiple catalytic domain of TET1 enzymes to the target sites with the dCas9-SunTag system, including sgRNA design, molecular cloning, delivery of plasmid into mammalian cells, and targeted DNA methylation analysis.

    Abstract Retrieving the complex responses of individual cells in the native three-dimensional tissue context is crucial for a complete understanding of tissue functions. Here, we present PHYTOMap (plant hybridization-based targeted observation of gene expression map), a multiplexed fluorescence in situ hybridization method that enables single-cell and spatial analysis of gene expression in whole-mount plant tissue in a transgene-free manner and at low cost. We applied PHYTOMap to simultaneously analyse 28 cell-type marker genes in Arabidopsis roots and successfully identified major cell types, demonstrating that our method can substantially accelerate the spatial mapping of marker genes defined in single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets in complex plant tissue.

    Abstract The regulation of DNA accessibility by histone modification has emerged as a paradigm of developmental and environmental programming. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a versatile tool to investigate in vivo protein-DNA interaction and has enabled advances in mechanistic understanding of physiologies. The technique has been successfully demonstrated in several plant species and tissues; however, it has remained challenging in woody tissues, in particular complex structures such as perennating buds. Here we developed a ChIP method specifically for mature dormant buds of grapevine (Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon). Each step of the protocol was systematically optimized, including crosslinking, chromatin extraction, sonication and antibody validation. Analysis of histone H3-enriched DNA was performed to evaluate the success of the protocol and identify occupancy of histone H3 along grapevine bud chromatin. To our best knowledge, this is the first ChIP experiment protocol optimized for the grapevine bud system.

    Abstract Aims: Whilst anti-coagulation is typically recommended for thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation (AF), it is often never prescribed or prematurely discontinued. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inequalities in anti-coagulant prescribing by assessing stroke/systemic embolism (SSE) and bleeding risk in people with AF who continue anti-coagulation compared with those who stop transiently, permanently, or never start.
    Methods and results: This retrospective cohort study utilized linked Scottish healthcare data to identify adults diagnosed with AF between January 2010 and April 2016, with a CHA
    Conclusion: Our data suggest significant inequalities in anti-coagulation prescribing, with substantial opportunity to improve initiation and continuation. Decision-making should be patient-centred and must recognize that discontinuation or cessation is associated with considerable thromboembolic risk not offset by mitigated bleeding risk.

    Abstract Targeted epigenome editing tools allow precise manipulation and investigation of genome modifications, however they often display high context dependency and variable efficacy between target genes and cell types. While systems that simultaneously recruit multiple distinct 'effector' chromatin regulators can improve efficacy, they generally lack control over effector composition and spatial organisation. To overcome this we have created a modular combinatorial epigenome editing platform, called SSSavi. This system is an interchangeable and reconfigurable docking platform fused to dCas9 that enables simultaneous recruitment of up to four different effectors, allowing precise control of effector composition and spatial ordering. We demonstrate the activity and specificity of the SSSavi system and, by testing it against existing multi-effector targeting systems, demonstrate its comparable efficacy. Furthermore, we demonstrate the importance of the spatial ordering of the recruited effectors for effective transcriptional regulation. Together, the SSSavi system enables exploration of combinatorial effector co-recruitment to enhance manipulation of chromatin contexts previously resistant to targeted editing.

    Abstract DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification of vertebrate genomes that is mostly associated with transcriptional repression. During embryogenesis, DNA methylation together with other epigenetic factors plays an essential role in selecting and maintaining cell identity. Recent technological advances are now allowing for the exploration of this mark at unprecedented resolution. This has resulted in a wealth of studies describing the developmental roles of DNA methylation in various vertebrate model systems. It is now evident that in certain contexts DNA methylation can act as a key regulator of cell identity establishment, whereas in many other cases the quantity of DNA methylation will merely reflect other upstream regulatory changes. For example, a number of studies have indicated that DNA methylation might be dispensable for pluripotency stages of embryonic development. Nevertheless, targeted deposition and removal of DNA methylation by DNMTs and TET proteins, respectively, appears to be required for vertebrate gastrulation. Here we review the roles of DNA methylation in the establishment and maintenance of cell identity during development, with a special emphasis on insights obtained from in vivo studies.
