Despite that single-cell-type-level analyses have been extensively conducted on animal models to gain new insights into complex biological processes; the unique biological and physiological properties of plant cells have not been widely studied at single-cell resolution. In this work, an electrical impedance flow cytometry was fabricated based on microfluidics with constriction microchannel to simultaneously characterize the mechanical and electrical properties of single plant cells. Protoplasts from two model plant species, the herbaceous Arabidopsis thaliana and the woody Populus trichocarpa, could be readily discriminated by their respective mechanical traits, but not by electrical impedance. On the contrary, overexpression of a red fluorescent protein on plasma membrane resulted in changes in cell electrical impedance instead of cell deformability. During primary cell wall (PCW) regeneration, this extracellular layer outside of protoplasts introduced dramatic variations in both mechanical and electrical properties of single plant cells. Furthermore, the effects of auxin, an essential phytohormone regulating PCW reformation, were validated on this platform. Taken together, our results revealed a novel application of microfluidic impedance flow cytometry in the field of plant science to simultaneously characterize dual biophysical properties at single-cell resolution, which could be further developed as a powerful and reliable tool for plant cell phenotyping and cell fate specification.
