AGAMOUS mediates timing of guard cell formation during gynoecium development

We present evidence that this regulation by AG is mediated by direct transcriptional repression of a master regulator of the stomatal lineage,MUTE, and show data that suggests this interaction is conserved among several members of the Brassicaceae. This work extends our understanding of the mechanisms underlying floral organ formation and provides a framework to decipher the mechanisms that control floral organ photosynthesis.
