Summary:The heterogeneity of gene expression in plant cells plays a crucial role in determining the functional differences among tissues. Recent advancements in spatial transcriptome (ST) technology have significantly contributed to the study of specific biological questions in plants. This technology has been successfully applied to examine cell development, identification, and stress resistance. This review aims to explore the application of ST technology in plants by reviewing three aspects: the development of ST technology, its current application in plants, and future research directions. The review provides a systematic description of the development process of ST technology, with a focus on analyzing its progress in studying plant cell growth and differentiation, plant cell identification, and stress resistance. In addition, the challenges faced by ST technology in plant applications are summarized, along with proposed future directions for plant research, including the advantages of combining other omics tech
