Abstract
A seed reactivates its genome to germinate. By creating a single-cell atlas of germinating embryos, we show that gene expression is highly dynamic and cell specific. Most cells adopt a single, common transcriptional state early in germination, and then transition to distinct gene regulatory programs that drive the functions of individual cell types.
