The cloning and characterization of a poplar stomatal density gene
EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR1 (EPF1) is a well characterized negative regulator of cell division in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtEPF1) where the primary region of localization is the leaf. However, little data have be...

Comparison of arabidopsis stomatal density mutants indicates variation in water stress responses and potential epistatic effects
Recent physiological analysis of Arabidopsis stomatal density (SD) mutants indicated that SD was not the major factor controlling aboveground biomass accumulation. Despite the general theory that plants with f...

Disruption of the basal body compromises proteasomal function and perturbs intracellular Wnt response
Primary cilia and basal bodies are evolutionarily conserved organelles that mediate communication between the intracellular and extracellular environments. Here we show that bbs1, bbs4 and mkks (also known as bbs...
