a, The maize seedling shoot. Scale bar, 5 cm. b, Morphology of the BSB. Scale bar, 5 mm. c,d, Illustration of leaf domains in a young leaf primordium (c) and a mature leaf (d). e,f, WT (e) and ns mutant sibling (f) showing effect of ns mutations on leaf width. g,h, Transverse sections through WT sibling (g) and ns mutant (h) shoot apices, false coloured to illustrate leaf domains. The tapered marginal domain in WT siblings is deleted in ns mutants. Scale bars, 100 μm. i, Single-cell transcriptomic approach. j, UMAP and embeddings of shoot apex cells coloured by putative cell-type identity. UMI, unique molecular identifier.
