DESCRIPTION:Roots are of fundamental importance for both plant and human g
 rowth and health.  Distinct cell type-specific programs within the root pe
 rform a variety of functions including defense\, nutrient transport\, mech
 anical support and growth.  Root spatiotemporal transcriptome\, proteome a
 nd metabolome profiling in Arabidopsis thaliana roots have given great ins
 ight into the diversity of cell type-specific programs.  I will highlight 
 how we can use these data and other genome-scale and systems approaches to
  map gene regulatory networks that regulate secondary cell wall synthesis 
 in root xylem cells.  In addition\, I will discuss current progress in exp
 loring natural variation in Solanum lycopersicum\, and it’s wild relativ
 e\, Solanum pennellii at cell type resolution.
