Some data in YFP visualization columns were taken from those presented by Lampard et al. (2009). Fluorescence scale is −, negative; +, weak; ++, strong. N/A, not applicable; this construct was not generated.
These plants showed paired stomata.
Stomatal clusters qualitatively smaller than those induced by full-length CAMKK7/9. Wild-type MKK variant phenotypes are as described (Lampard et al., 2009).
