BZU2/ZmMUTE controls symmetrical division of guard mother cell and specifies neighbor cell fate in maize.

Intercellular communication in adjacent cell layers determines cell fate and polarity, thus orchestrating tissue specification and differentiation. Here we use the maize stomatal apparatus as a model to investigate cell fate determination. Mutations in ZmBZU2 (bizui2, bzu2) confer a complete absence...
