Guard cells form epidermal stomatal gas-exchange valves in plants and regulate the
aperture of stomatal pores in response to changes in the carbon dioxide (CO 2) …

Like communities of people, communities of cells must continuously communicate to thrive.
Polypeptide signaling molecules that act as mobile ligands are widely used by eukaryotic …

Dynamic cell identities underlie flexible developmental programs. The stomatal lineage in
the Arabidopsis leaf epidermis features asynchronous and indeterminate divisions that can …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, brassinosteroid (BR) signaling and stomatal development are
connected through the SHAGGY/GSK3-like kinase BR INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2). BIN2 is a key …

Mitogens trigger cell division in animals. In plants, cytokinins, a group of phytohormones
derived from adenine, stimulate cell proliferation. Cytokinin signaling is initiated by …

Stomata, the epidermal pores for gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere, are the
major sites of water loss. During water shortage, plants limit the formation of new stoma via …

Hair-like structures are shared by most living organisms. The hairs on plant surfaces,
commonly referred to as trichomes, form diverse types to sense and protect against various …

The regulation of stomatal lineage cell development has been extensively investigated.
However, a comprehensive characterization of this biological process based on single-cell …

Plants use cell-surface-resident receptor-like kinases (RLKs) to sense diverse extrinsic and
intrinsic cues and elicit distinct biological responses. In Arabidopsis, ERECTA family RLKs …

Stomatal pores allow gas exchange between plant and atmosphere. Stomatal development
is regulated by multiple intrinsic developmental and environmental signals. Here, we show …
