Abstract excerpt
The components of the mediator kinase module are highly conserved across all eukaryotic lineages, and cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is essential for correct cell proliferation and differentiation in diverse eukaryotic systems. We show that CDK8 couples leaf development with the establishment of correct stomata patterning for prevailing CO2 conditions. In Arabidopsis, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)...
