ERECTA signaling controls the timing of Arabidopsis Guard Cell maturation at the embryonic leaf tip

Yadhusankar Sasidharan, Vijayalakshmi Suryavanshi, Pablo González‐Suárez…·Margot E. Smit

This study shows ERECTA signaling suppresses embryonic stomatal cell maturation in Arabidopsis, leading to a partially mature cell state.
