The rate with which crop yields per hectare increase each year is plateauing at the same
time that human population growth and other factors increase food demand. Increasing yield …

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 …

Stomata are orifices that connect the drier atmosphere with the interconnected network of
more humid air spaces that surround the cells within a leaf. Accurate values of the humidities …

A significant resistance to CO2 diffusion is imposed by mesophyll tissue inside leaves.
Mesophyll resistance, rm (or its reciprocal, mesophyll conductance, gm), reduces the rate at …

Sufficient water availability in the environment is critical for plant survival. Perception of
water by plants is necessary to balance water uptake and water loss and to control plant …

Aquaporins are channel proteins that function to increase the permeability of biological
membranes. In plants, aquaporins are encoded by multigene families that have undergone …

Understanding the short‐term responses of mesophyll conductance (gm) and stomatal
conductance (gsc) to environmental changes remains a challenging yet central aspect of …

Aquaporins are important transmembrane channel proteins required for the transport of
water and nutrients to maintain plant water relations and its survival. The aquaporins have a …

Abstract Changes in leaf temperature are known to drive stomatal responses, because the
leaf‐to‐air water vapour gradient (Δw) increases with temperature if ambient vapour …

The opening and closing of stomata are controlled by the integration of environmental and
endogenous signals. Here, we show the effects of combining elevated atmospheric carbon …
