Plants adapt their water consumption to environmental conditions by counting and calculating environmental stimuli with their guard cells. Plants control their water consumption via adjustable pores ...
Plants control their water consumption via adjustable pores (stomata), which are formed from pairs of guard cells. They open their stomata when there is a sufficient water supply and enough light for ...
Left: A blue light pulse of 0.1 seconds triggers a calcium signal (red) in guard cells, which is followed by an anion current (black). Right: The influx of calcium into the cell promotes the release ...
