Science. 296:2002;1697-1700 The authors of this paper describe the cloning and expression pattern of the TMM gene. On the basis of the similarity of TMM to CLV2 and the expression of TMM in stomatal precursors and their neighbors, the authors suggest that TMM is required to receive an orienting signal. They propose a model in which TMM expression defines a stem-cell compartment that is analogous to that at the shoot meristem.

Plant Cell. 14:2002;1527-1539 The localization of SDD1 is explored using RNA in-situ and reporter constructs. Constitutive expression of SDD1 leads to a phenotype that is opposite to that of the sdd1 loss-of-function mutant. Plants that express SDD1 constitutively have leaves that have a lowered stomatal index and many arrested precursors. The authors use lines that constitutively express SDD1 in epistasis tests with other stomatal mutants to conclude that TMM and SDD1 may work in the same signaling pathway.

Plant J. 33:2003;989-1000 The combinatorial effects of gibberellin, auxin and ethylene are explored using the growth of the Arabidopsis hypocotyl as a model. Gibberellin promotes the formation of stomata in a tissue-dependent manner. Elevated GA levels lead to extra stomata, but only within the cell files that normally make them. Reduced GA signaling leads to a reduced number of hypocotyl stomata.

Development. 130:2003;635-643 The genetic removal of two epidermally expressed homeodomain proteins leads to a striking phenotype. Double mutants have no morphologically recognizable epidermis and do not express molecular markers of epidermal fate. The few patches of epidermis produced on these plants appear to be clusters of guard cells.

Development. 129:2002;1859-1869 The authors of this paper report the surprising finding that ectopic cells that are derived from incorrectly oriented divisions in the maize epidermis develop according to their lineage and not, as was found previously in chimeras, in accordance with their new positions. They observe a correlation between the dosage of the Xcl1 gene and the production of stomata on the leaf surface.

The cells that are captured are suitable for RNA extraction and RNA amplification, and may be used for microarrays to identify genes that are specifically upregulated in specialized cell types, such as meristemoids or guard cells. The Nakazono paper contains an extensive list of genes that are specific to the maize epidermis. A subset of these is likely to be required for stomatal identity.
