Other claims from this paper (6)
- Mechanism MUTE directs the meristemoid-to-guard-mother-cell transition across organs.
- Mechanism MUTE is required for hydathode pore formation.
- Observation MUTE expression occurs at cotyledon and leaf tips and co-localizes with auxin maxima.
- Observation Auxin did not regulate MUTE.
- Observation Loss of hydathode pores in mute did not affect auxin maxima.
- Observation Compromised inhibitory signaling partially bypassed the MUTE requirement.
