This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 17, 2017, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by M.T. Raissig at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif., and colleagues was titled, "Mobile MUTE specifies subsidiary cells to build physiologically improved grass stomata." view more
