The process by which a meristemoid acquires the specialized features of a guard mother cell. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which an unspecialized epidermal cell progresses through a series of divisions that culminate in the production of a stomatal complex. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the stomatal complex over time from its formation to the mature structure. The stomatal complex is the stomatal guard cells and their associated epidermal cells.
