Abstract excerpt
The two guard cells of a stoma are produced by a single symmetric division just before terminal differentiation. Recessive mutations in the FOUR LIPS (FLP) gene abnormally induce at least four guard cells in contact with one another. These pattern defects result from a persistence of precursor cell identity that leads to extra symmetric divisions at the end of the cell lineage. FLP is likely to be required for...
