Stomata, the pores formed by a pair of guard cells, are the main gateways for water
transpiration and photosynthetic CO2 exchange, as well as pathogen invasion in land …

Drought is one of the abiotic stresses which impairs the plant growth/development and
restricts the yield of many crops throughout the world. Stomatal closure is a common …

Plant productivity is continuously challenged by pathogen attack and abiotic stress such as
drought and salt stress. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is a key endogenous …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been studied for their role in plant development as
well as in plant immunity. ROS were consistently observed to accumulate in the plant after …

Membranes are primary sites of perception of environmental stimuli. Polyunsaturated fatty
acids are major structural constituents of membranes that also function as modulators of a …

An integral part of global environment change is an increase in the atmospheric
concentration of CO 2 ([CO 2])[1]. Increased [CO 2] reduces leaf stomatal apertures and …

Drought, a primary abiotic stress, seriously affects plant growth and productivity. Stomata
play a vital role in regulating gas exchange and drought adaptation. However, limited …

Guard cells regulate stomatal pore size through integration of both endogenous and
environmental signals; they are widely recognized as providing a key switching mechanism …

The air pollutant ozone can be used as a tool to unravel in planta processes induced by
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we have utilized ozone to study ROS‐dependent …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that plays a fundamental role in plant development
and stress response, especially in the regulation of stomatal closure in response to water …
