Method

PHYTOMap

We developed PHYTOMap, a low-cost whole-mount method for multiplexed 3D RNA imaging in plants at single-molecule resolution. It enables spatial gene-expression analysis without tissue sectioning or generating a transgenic reporter for every target, and can be applied across diverse plant tissues and species. We have directly supported more than 10 research groups in implementing PHYTOMap, alongside independent applications of the method beyond our original experimental system.
