A Comparison of Different Stomatal Density Phenotypes of Hordeum vulgare under Varied Watering Regimes Reveals Superior Genotypes with Enhanced Drought Tolerance [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Enhancing the water-use efficiency (WUE) of barley cultivars may safeguard yield deficits during periods of low rainfall. Reduced stomatal density is linked to enhanced WUE, leading to improved drought resistance across plant genera.

Altering Stomatal Density for Manipulating Transpiration and Photosynthetic Traits in Rice through CRISPR/Cas9 Mutagenesis [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Stomata regulates conductance, transpiration and photosynthetic traits in plants. Increased stomatal density may contribute to enhanced water loss and thereby help improve the transpirational cooling process and mitigate the high temperature-induced ...

Activation of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid Synthases Sets Stomatal Density and Clustered Ratio on Leaf Epidermis of Arabidopsis in Response to Drought [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The adjustment of stomatal density and clustered ratio on the epidermis is the important strategy for plants to respond to drought, because the stoma-based water loss is directly related to plant growth and survival under drought conditions.

Measuring Stomatal Density in Rice
Bio-Protocol, 2013 The number of stomata on leaves is known to be affected by various environmental factors and intrinsic developmental program. Stomatal density and stomatal index are generally used as indicators of the leaf development and the plant growth.

The combined effect of decreased stomatal density and aperture increases water use efficiency in maize [PDF]
Scientific ReportsStomata play a crucial role in balancing carbon dioxide uptake and water vapor loss, thereby regulating plant water use efficiency (WUE). Enhancing WUE is important for sustainable agriculture and food security, particularly for crops such as maize (Zea ...

Bacterial infection systemically suppresses stomatal density. [PDF]
Plant Cell Environ, 2019 AbstractMany plant pathogens gain entry to their host via stomata. On sensing attack, plants close these pores to restrict pathogen entry. Here, we show that plants exhibit a second longer term stomatal response to pathogens. Following infection, the subsequent development of leaves is altered via a systemic signal.
