An exciting new study from scientists at the Earlham Institute and John Innes Centre uses spatial imaging to uncover new insights into a long-standing mystery in wheat development: why do grains at the bottom of the spike fail to achieve full size compared to those higher up?

The team have used spatial transcriptomics technology - which measures and visually maps the activity of genes in a tissue or cell - to study the expression of 200 genes across wheat spikes at different developmental stages.
