Two highly specialized cells, the guard cells that surround the stomatal pore, are able to
integrate environmental and endogenous signals in order to control the stomatal aperture …

Stomatal guard cells are widely recognized as the premier plant cell model for membrane
transport, signaling, and homeostasis. This recognition is rooted in half a century of research …

Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

Stomatal opening is largely promoted by light-activated plasma membrane-localized proton
ATPases (PM H+-ATPases), while their closure is mainly modulated by abscisic acid (ABA) …

Plants experience changes in light intensity and quality due to variations in solar angle and
shading from clouds and overlap** leaves. Stomatal opening to increasing irradiance is …

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 …

Phototropins are blue-light receptors controlling a range of responses that serve to optimize
the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. These include phototropism, light-induced stomatal …

Grasses began to diversify in the late Cretaceous Period and now dominate more than one
third of global land area, including three-quarters of agricultural land. We hypothesize that …

Here, we have analysed the H+‐ATPase‐mediated extrusion of protons across the plasma
membrane (PM) of rhizodermic cells, a process that is inducible by iron (Fe) deficiency and …

The continuing rise in atmospheric [CO2] is predicted to have diverse and dramatic effects
on the productivity of agriculture, plant ecosystems and gas exchange,,. Stomatal pores in …
