Abstract Receptor kinases are pivotal for growth, development, and environmental response of plants. Yet, their regulatory mechanisms and spatial dynamics remain underexplored. The ERECTA-family receptor kinases coordinate diverse developmental processes, including stomatal development.

INTRODUCTION The Arabidopsis thaliana ERECTA gene was first identified through the classic Landsberg erecta (Ler) accession. The history of Ler predates 1957, when Prof. George Rédei irradiated the Landsberg accession and isolated erect plants with a vigorous growth phenotype, which was accordingly named the erecta (er) mutant (Redei, 1962). The short, compact stature of the Ler inflorescences was favored by geneticists including Prof.
