The bHLH protein, MUTE, controls differentiation of stomata and the hydathode pore in Arabidopsis.

Plant & cell physiology - 1 Jun 2008

Pillitteri Lynn Jo, Bogenschutz Naomi L, Torii Keiko U

Abstract excerpt

Stomata are turgor-driven epidermal valves on the surface of plants that allow for efficient gas and water exchange between the plant and its environment. The Arabidopsis thaliana basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein, MUTE, is a master regulator of stomatal differentiation where it is required for progression through the stomatal lineage and the differentiation of stomata. The genetic control of stomatal spacing...
