The acquisition of stomata is one of the key innovations that led to the colonisation of the
terrestrial environment by the earliest land plants. However, our understanding of the origin …

Stomatal responses to vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are a principal means by which vascular
land plants regulate daytime transpiration. While much work has focused on characterizing …

Ferns and fern allies have low photosynthetic rates compared with seed plants. Their
photosynthesis is thought to be limited principally by physical CO 2 diffusion from the …

Motivated by studies suggesting that the stomata of ferns and lycophytes do not conform to
the standard active abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated stomatal control model, we examined …

To predict how forests will respond to rising temperatures and atmospheric CO 2
concentrations, we need to understand how trees respond to both of these environmental …

In vascular plants, stomata balance two opposing functions: they open to facilitate CO 2
uptake and close to prevent excessive water loss. Here, we discuss the evolution of three …

Changing atmospheric CO2 levels, climate, and air humidity affect plant gas exchange that
is controlled by stomata, small pores on plant leaves and stems formed by guard cells …

The evolution of active stomatal closure in response to leaf water deficit, mediated by the
hormone abscisic acid (ABA), has been the subject of recent debate. Two different models …
