Cell types are labeled as: meristemoid mother cell (MMC), meristemoid (M), stomatal lineage ground cell (SLGC), guard mother cell (GMC), guard cell (GC), pavement cell (PC).
This linear relationship indicated that when expansion rates are calculated relative to initial cell area, pavement cells within the imaging field increased in surface area at the same rate.
The overall cell (trichome, pavement cell, root system) morphology of DISTORTED mutants has been well studied [ 21].
Once a cell becomes a pavement cell or a guard cell, it does not change its identity again.
(D ) Guard cells exhibiting pavement cell-like lobed growth with no divisions or expression of stomatal and cell cycle reporters.
This poses the question of how, in intact plants, specialized cells like pavement cells and guard cells are prevented from reverting to stem cells.
In the Arabidopsis stomatal lineage, a transient self-renewing phase creates precursors that differentiate into one of two epidermal cell types, guard cells or pavement cells.
There are two major types of gill cells, the pavement cells (PVCs) and the mitochondria-rich cells (MRCs), which play key roles in ion-osmoregulation, namely sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl−), and calcium (Ca2+) transport, and acid base balance.
An unusually shaped epithelial cell is the pavement cell, which looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece and is found in the leaves of many flowering plants.
