Photo of the experimental setup used to evaluate the comparative response to herbivory across the Brachypodium species complex. The picture was taken during the feeding experiment, in which the authors placed one locust on multiple lines of diploid Brachypodium distachyon, B. stacei, and B. hybridum allopolyploid. Locusts were allowed to feed for 48 h, after which damage and fitness were evaluated.

Grass choke disease caused by two #Epichloë species: one on #Bromus erectus (likely E. bromicola) and the other on #Brachypodium sylvaticum (likely E. sylvatica), with in both cases a larva of Botanophila sp. involved in cross-fertilizing the fungus (La Roche-Guyon, France).

Schematic displaying stomatal development in wild type (WT). Stomatal development starts with guard mother cell (GMC; blue) formation. BdMUTE is expressed in the GMC (light blue nucleus) and moves into the lateral cells (light yellow nucleus) to establish subsidiary mother cells (SMCs). SMCs then polarize (yellow gradient) and divide asymmetrically to form lateral SCs (yellow). Finally, the GMC divides symmetrically to generate two GCs (light green), which form a pore and mature into the characteristic dumbbell shape (dark green). Open questions regarding BdMUTE’s roles and mechanisms are indicated.

Excited to share our new #preprint on BdMUTE and its dual role in recruiting subsidiary cells (SCs) and orienting guard cell (GC) division in #Brachypodium: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We set out to answer questions about how BdMUTE influences grass stomatal development: (1/8)
