    Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 5020, USA
    Evol Dev 13:182-92. 2011
    ..Our data are consistent with a mechanism whereby a multifunctional transcription factor underwent duplication followed by specialization to provide the three (now nonoverlapping) functions of the angiosperm stomatal bHLHs...

    Gregory R Lampard
    Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
    Science 322:1113-6. 2008
    ..The coupling of MAPK signaling to SPEECHLESS activity provides cell type specificity for MAPK output while allowing the integration of multiple developmental and environmental signals into the production and spacing of stomata...

    Juan Dong
    Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 5020, USA
    Cell 137:1320-30. 2009
    ..BASL presence at the cell periphery is critical for its function, and we propose that BASL represents a plant-specific solution to the challenge of asymmetric cell division...
