The authors examine the gametophytic phase of early land plants in fossils of the Rhynie chert. These fossils looked very similar to liverworts and had rhizoids and stomata but no trichomes.
2. Carpenter K.J. Specialized structures in the leaf epidermis of basal angiosperms: morphology, distribution, and homology. Am J Bot 93 (2006) 665-681. The author examines basal angiosperms and suggest that trichomes might have evolved independently on several occasions. The organization of trichomes and modified structures into cellular complexes is very similar to the organization of stomata in these species, suggesting that trichomes might have evolved from stomata. Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales might have lost their trichomes to produce synapomorphies: hydropotes and ethereal oil glands, respectively.
3. Serna L., and Martin C. Trichomes: different regulatory networks lead to convergent structures. Trends Plant Sci 11 (2006) 274-280. Using phylogenetic and experimental data, the authors question the universality of the MYB-bHLH-WDR transcriptional complex in specifying trichomes in plants. The activity of a distinct class of MYB proteins suggests that at least one other system might be operational in plants. This has implications for the diversity of mechanisms that pattern trichomes, as the system known in Arabidopsis is based on inhibition of the activity of the MYB-bHLH-WDR complex.

The authors identify RLKs that interact with the RLP TMM to negatively regulate guard cell differentiation and to maintain stem cell proliferation within the meristemoid. Double mutants between er, erl1, erl2 and tmm suggest that the different RLKs play distinct roles in patterning stomata. Physical interactions between TMM and ER and between ERL1 and ERL2 still need to be demonstrated.

The Arabidopsis R2R3 MYB proteins FOUR LIPS and MYB88 restrict divisions late in the stomatal cell lineage. Plant Cell 17 (2005) 2754-2767. The authors identify two MYB proteins that regulate the transition from precursor cells to differentiated guard cells. These proteins represent possible targets for the MAP kinase cascade that controls the oriented cell divisions that pattern the stomata and determine cell fate.

Plant Cell 18 (2005) 1383-1395. GIS activity promotes the adult phase of vegetative growth. When overexpressed, it causes increased trichome production on inflorescence stems and cauline leaves. GIS encodes a putative transcription factor that is a positive regulator of GL1 and GL3 expression. It appears to work downstream of GA in signalling trichome initiation. The activity of GIS is reminiscent of that of gl15 in maize, although GIS is a positive regulator and gl15 is a negative regulator of adult phase development.

Using artificial flowers of different colours at different temperatures, the authors show that bumblebees not only prefer warmer flowers but also learn to identify warmer flowers by colour. This implicates a wide range of floral structures in pollinator attraction through warming.

Their data emphasize the importance of changes in expression pattern in determining regulatory gene function.
