The paper shows that mutations in NKD IDD genes worsen leaf patterning defects in C4 grasses but not C3 grasses, and identifies a maternal influence on leaf cell patterning during embryogenesis.

The study shows that SCARECROW regulates stomatal development in rice and inner leaf patterning in maize, indicating divergent developmental roles after speciation.

This study shows that active stomatal closure in the fern Ceratopteris richardii shares molecular features with flowering plant responses, suggesting conserved signaling pathways.

This study shows that maize SCARECROW genes are essential for photosynthetic development, as their mutation reduces chlorophyll content and photosynthetic enzyme activity, affecting plant growth.

The paper optimizes a steroid-inducible gene expression system for rice, showing high sensitivity but off-target effects that can be mitigated with IPTG.

This study shows that two redundant maize SCARECROW genes regulate mesophyll and endodermal cell layer patterning in leaves and roots, respectively.
