Impact of Stomatal Density and Morphology on Water-Use Efficiency in a Changing World.
TL;DR: The current understanding of how stomatal number and morphology are involved in regulating water-use efficiency is reviewed and the potential and limitations of manipulatingStomatal development to increase drought tolerance and to reduce water loss in crops as the climate changes are discussed.
Rice with reduced stomatal density conserves water and has improved drought tolerance under future climate conditions

TL;DR: Rice plants with fewer stomata are drought tolerant and more conservative in their water use, and they should perform better in the future when climate change is expected to threaten food security.
Origins and evolution of stomatal development
TL;DR: By interrogating newly available plant genomes, the story of stomatal development and patterning across land plant evolution is advanced and potential orthologs of the key toolbox genes in a hornwort are identified, further supporting a single ancient genetic origin for stomata in the ancestor to all stomatous land plants.
Stomatal development: focusing on the grasses.
TL;DR: This review revisits how stomatal developmental unfolds in grasses, and identifies key ontogenetic steps for which knowledge of the underpinning molecular mechanisms remains outstanding.

Rice plants overexpressing OsEPF1 show reduced stomatal density and increased root cortical aerenchyma formation.
Umar Mohammed,Robert S. Caine,Jonathan A. Atkinson,Emily L. Harrison,Darren M. Wells,Caspar Chater,Julie E. Gray,Ranjan Swarup,Erik H. Murchie +8 more
TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) is formed constitutively in OsEPF1OE lines regardless of tissue age and position, and it is concluded that RCA development and stomatal development are linked by two possible mechanisms.
