The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in the regulation of stomatal
movements under water‐deficit conditions. The identification of ABA receptors and the ABA …

The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and external atmosphere is governed by
stomatal conductance (gs); therefore, stomata play a critical role in photosynthesis and …

Agriculture is expanding into regions that are affected by salinity. This review considers the
energetic costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants and provides a framework for a …

Stomata serve dual and often conflicting roles, facilitating carbon dioxide influx into the plant
leaf for photosynthesis and restricting water efflux via transpiration. Strategies for reducing …

Stomatal pores facilitate gaseous exchange between the inner air spaces of the leaf and the
atmosphere. As gatekeepers that balance CO 2 entry for photosynthesis against …

Stomata of plant leaves open to enable CO2 entry for photosynthesis and close to reduce
water loss via transpiration. Compared with photosynthesis, stomata respond slowly to …

Stomata are micropores on the leaf epidermis that allow carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake for
photosynthesis at the expense of water loss through transpiration. Stomata coordinate the …

Guard cells control the aperture of stomatal pores to balance photosynthetic carbon dioxide
uptake with evaporative water loss. Stomatal closure is triggered by several stimuli that …

Abstract Starch in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) guard cells is rapidly degraded at the
start of the day by the glucan hydrolases α-AMYLASE3 (AMY3) and β-AMYLASE1 (BAM1) to …

Abstract Changes in leaf temperature are known to drive stomatal responses, because the
leaf‐to‐air water vapour gradient (Δw) increases with temperature if ambient vapour …
