Stomatal pores are formed by pairs of specialized epidermal guard cells and serve as major
gateways for both CO2 influx into plants from the atmosphere and transpirational water loss …

▪ Abstract Guard cells surround stomatal pores in the epidermis of plant leaves and stems.
Stomatal pore opening is essential for CO2 influx into leaves for photosynthetic carbon …

The transient gene expression system using Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts has proven
an important and versatile tool for conducting cell-based experiments using molecular …

Stomatal pores, each surrounded by a pair of guard cells, regulate CO2 uptake and water
loss from leaves. Stomatal opening is driven by the accumulation of K+ salts and sugars in …

The stomatal pores of higher plants allow for gaseous exchange into and out of leaves.
Situated in the epidermis, they are surrounded by a pair of guard cells which control their …

▪ Abstract Most transport proteins in plant cells are energized by electrochemical gradients of
protons across the plasma membrane. The formation of these gradients is due to the action …

Blue and ultraviolet-A light regulate a wide range of responses in plants, including
phototropism, chloroplast migration and stomatal opening. However, the photoreceptors for …

This review focuses on recent research into the environmental and physiological controls on
the utilization of transient light under the following headings: light dynamics in canopies …

Plant protoplasts show physiological perceptions and responses to hormones, metabolites,
environmental cues, and pathogen-derived elicitors, similar to cell-autonomous responses …

Since the first recordings of single potassium channel activities in the plasma membrane of
guard cells more than 25 years ago, patch-clamp studies discovered a variety of ion …
