Actin in Formation of Stomatal Complexes

  • Chapter
Actin: A Dynamic Framework for Multiple Plant Cell Functions

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 89))

Abstract

Stomata have long been recognised as a model system in which to study regulated division in plant cells because the precursor cells divide in predictable sequences and planes. The formation of functional stomatal complexes, whether a solitary guard cell pair or guard cells complexed with multiple subsidiary cells, requires precisely oriented cell divisions reliant on the correct functioning of the cytoskeleton. In particular, many stage-specific configurations of cortical actin form during the development of stomatal complexes. These may be critical to normal stomatal development and function. The distribution and function of actin during stomatogenesis is discussed.
