This paper provides evidence that TMM controls meristemoid fate progression in stems. The absence of stomata from some organs reflects a fate transition defect that occurs later, rather than a failure to initiate the stomatal cell lineage.

The authors have identified the first candidate for a ligand for TMM and ERECTA family receptor kinases by screening a large population of putative small peptides for overexpression phenotypes. Stomatal precursors produce the EPF1 peptide, which may act as a mobile signal that negatively regulates asymmetric divisions and orients nearby patterning asymmetric divisions. The work provides evidence that TMM, ERf, and YODA are downstream of EPF1 but SDD1 is not.

[37], this paper uncovers the role of a family of bHLH transcription factors related to FAMA. Each controls a separate fate specification event in the stomatal lineage and their functions reveal commonalities with animal cell fate specification. This paper focuses on the role of SPCH in controlling entry and amplifying asymmetric divisions. SPCH is expressed in cells that may divide asymmetrically. They also show that FAMA and MUTE cannot replace SPCH activity in controlling entry asymmetric divisions.

[36], this paper uncovers the role of FAMA-like bHLH transcription factors. This paper focuses on the role of MUTE in promoting the fate transition between meristemoid and GMC. Defects in MUTE cause immortalization of meristemoids and failure to transition to the GMC. MUTE is found in nuclei of new GMCs and meristemoids that have undergone some self-renewing divisions, and ectopic MUTE expression is sufficient to convert most epidermal cell types to GMCs that produce GCs.

This paper provides more information about the functions of MUTE, including its role in hydathode formation and independence from auxin regulation. It also provides an indication that TMM/ERf signaling might be linked to the transition from meristemoid to GMC via MUTE.
39. Ohashi-Ito K., and Bergmann D.C. Arabidopsis FAMA controls the final proliferation/differentiation switch during stomatal development. Plant Cell 18 (2006) 2493-2505. This paper describes the function of the bHLH transcription factor FAMA in guard cell differentiation. Mutants undergo reiterative rounds of symmetric division of the GMC, and never produce GCs. FAMA is expressed at the GMC to GC transition and overexpression converts any cell to GC, sometimes without prior division. FAMA seems to be a transcriptional activator that interacts with two other bHLH proteins with weak GC twinning phenotypes, but not the MYB protein FLP.

SCREAM/ICE1 and SCREAM2 specify three cell-state transitional steps leading to Arabidopsis stomatal differentiation. Plant Cell 20 (2008) 1775-1785. A pair of new broadly expressed bHLH-LZ proteins, SCREAM1 and SCREAM2, controls cell fate transitions in the stomatal lineage most likely through dimerization with MUTE, SPCH, and FAMA bHLH proteins. SCREAM1 is identical to ICE1, which controls cold-induced gene expression, revealing an interesting signaling intersection between stomatal biogenesis and environmental responsiveness.

The MADS box protein AGL16 controls the number of cells that enter the stomatal pathway to form satellite meristemoids. AGL16 is regulated by miR824, revealing for the first time the involvement of a recently evolved miRNA in stomatal biogenesis.
