This is the basis for the opening and closing of a stoma, known as stomatal movement, which controls gas exchange necessary for photosynthesis and limits water loss. How do guard cells change ...

Some genes that control stomatal movement in flowering plants likely arose recently, in seed plants, from within ancient gene families that were present in algae. Signalling genes with specific ...

We also investigate the molecular components that connect stomatal function with the regulation of water movement in the vasculature. Our research expands to the study of plant stress perception and ...
