Dual role of BdMUTE during stomatal development in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon

Roxane P. Spiegelhalder, Lea Sophie Berg, Tiago D. G. Nunes, Melanie Dörr, Barbara Jesenofsky, Heike Lindner, Michael Thomas Raissig

This study shows that BdMUTE regulates both GC division orientation and SC recruitment in Brachypodium distachyon, essential for GC morphogenesis and stomatal function.
