Abstract excerpt
In the leaf epidermis, guard mother cells undergo a stereotyped symmetric division to form the guard cells of stomata. We have identified a temperature-sensitive Arabidopsis mutant, stomatal cytokinesis-defective 1-1 (scd1-1), which affects this specialized division. At the non-permissive temperature, 22 degrees C, defective scd1-1 guard cells are binucleate, and the formation of their ventral cell walls is...
