STOMATAL DEVELOPMENT

SCREAM in the making of stomata

Nature Plants volume 5, pages 648–649 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Receptor-mediated regulation of SPEECHLESS by a MAP kinase cascade coordinates cell fate specification during stomatal development. SCREAM functions as a scaffold to bring SPEECHLESS in proximity with MPK3/MPK6, thereby allowing its down-regulation to inhibit stomatal cell fate.
