Events

PCA Spatial Metabolomics Workshop
October 19, 2021
Registration is still open for the PCA Spatial Metabolomics Workshop. Join us to learn from world leaders in spatial and mass spectrometry imaging-based metabolomics from plant sciences and beyond and how these technologies will be crucial to the development of a comprehensive PCA metabolome.

2021 Plant Cell Atlas Symposium
December 9 & 10, 2021
Registration and the Call for Abstracts for the First Plant Cell Atlas Symposium are open! This symposium is designed to not only share the most exciting scientific and technological breakthroughs in plant single cell science, but to also create a forum for people interested in these approaches to network. We will also be discussing community building for the PCA. NOTE: If you submit an abstract you still need to register for the event separately.

Publication Highlights

Timeline of the goals for the PCA through 2031. Some of these goals are to generate single cell maps of reference species, develop perturbation and spatial maps of reference species, and develop community supported evaluation metrics.
Vision for the future of the Plant Cell Atlas

Several members of the PCA community have outlined the vision, opportunities, and challenges for developing a comprehensive Plant Cell Atlas over the next 10 years. The authors describe the milestones for the next 10 years, the development of a global PCA community, how the PCA will contribute to the furthering of plant science, and technical challenges that the PCA will need to overcome.

Recognizing the impact of historical Black plant scientists

The PCA has partnered with faculty from three Historically Black Colleges and Universities to bring the accomplishments of four Black plant scientists to undergraduate classrooms. We developed an art exhibit featuring these scientists that the faculty at these HBCUs are incorporating into their curricula to spark an interest in plant science in their students.

Improving the accessibility of PCA publications

In an effort to improve the inclusiveness of the Plant Cell Atlas an amazing group of PCA members have translated our "First plant cell atlas workshop report" into Spanish - "Reporte del Primer Grupo de Trabajo del Atlas Celular de Plantas".
