[PDF][PDF] Guard cell photosynthesis and stomatal function.

T Lawson - New Phytologist, 2009 - esalq.usp.br
Chloroplasts are a key feature of most guard cells; however, the function of these organelles
in stomatal responses has been a subject of debate. This review examines evidence for and …

Rethinking guard cell metabolism

D Santelia, T Lawson - Plant Physiology, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Stomata control gaseous fluxes between the internal leaf air spaces and the external
atmosphere and, therefore, play a pivotal role in regulating CO2 uptake for photosynthesis …

Light-mediated signaling and metabolic changes coordinate stomatal opening and closure

J Yang, C Li, D Kong, F Guo, H Wei - Frontiers in plant science, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Stomata are valves on the leaf surface controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) influx for
photosynthesis and water loss by transpiration. Thus, plants have to evolve elaborate …

Photosynthesis and stomatal behaviour

T Lawson, S von Caemmerer, I Baroli - Progress in botany 72, 2011 - Springer
In order for plants to use water efficiently, stomata must ensure an appropriate balance
between CO 2 demands for photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration. To achieve …

Roles of sucrose in guard cell regulation

DM Daloso, L Dos Anjos, AR Fernie - New Phytologist, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The control of stomatal aperture involves reversible changes in the concentration of
osmolytes in guard cells. Sucrose has long been proposed to have an osmolytic role in …
