Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect AVG application induced single guard cells.
- Observation An acs octuple mutant with extremely low ACC developed single guard cells.
- Intervention effect Exogenous ACC dramatically reduced single guard cells in the acs octuple mutant.
- Intervention effect Exogenous ethephon had no effect on single guard cell number in the acs mutant.
- Intervention effect Blocking endogenous ethylene synthesis did not induce single guard cells.
- Intervention effect Disrupting ethylene signaling did not induce single guard cells.
- Intervention effect ACC promoted guard mother cell division in fama-1 and flp-1myb88 mutants.
- Intervention effect AVG inhibited guard mother cell division in fama-1 and flp-1myb88 mutants.
- Intervention effect ACC positively regulated CDKB1;1 and CYCA2;3 expression in the mutants.
- Intervention effect ACC did not affect single guard cell number in cdkb1;11;2 and cyca2;234 mutants.
- Intervention effect AVG did not affect single guard cell number in cdkb1;11;2 and cyca2;234 mutants.
