Plant atmospheric CO2 fixation depends on the aperture of stomatal pores at the leaf
epidermis. Stomatal aperture or closure is regulated by changes in the metabolism of the …

Sucrose has long been thought to play an osmolytic role in stomatal opening. However,
recent evidence supports the idea that the role of sucrose in this process is primarily …

Stomata control the uptake of CO2 into the leaf along with water loss through transpiration
and are critical for maintaining plant water status and leaf temperature. The predicted …

As plants evolved to function on land, they developed stomata for effective gas exchange, for
photosynthesis and for controlling water loss. We have recently shown that sugars, as the …

Drought is one of the main abiotic stresses with far-reaching ecological and socioeconomic
impacts, especially in perennial food crops such as Prunus. There is an urgent need to …

Sugars play important roles in regulating plant growth, development, and stomatal
movement. Here, we found that glucose triggered stomatal closure in a dose-and time …

Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a quantitative measurement of biomass produced per volume
of water transpired by a plant. WUE is an important physiological trait for drought response …
