Integrating stomatal physiology and morphology: evolution of stomatal control and development of future crops [PDF]
AbstractStomata are central players in the hydrological and carbon cycles, regulating the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis and transpirative loss of water (H2O) between plants and the atmosphere. The necessity to balance water-loss and CO2-uptake has played a key role in the evolution of plants, and is increasingly important in a ...

Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Physiological Response of Maize to Soil Salinity
Soil salinization is a global problem that causes huge losses in agricultural production. Salt can interfere with crop absorption and metabolism of nutrients and water, affect plant physiological responses and reduce plant biomass.

Coordination of stomatal physiological behavior and morphology with carbon dioxide determines stomatal control [PDF]
• Premise of the study: Stomatal control is determined by the ability to alter stomatal aperture and/or the number of stomata on the surface of new leaves in response to growth conditions. The development of stomatal control mechanisms to the concentration of CO2 within the atmosphere ([CO2]) is fundamental to our understanding of plant evolutionary ...

Morphology made for movement: formation of diverse stomatal guard cells
Stomata constantly open and close to optimize gas exchange. While the genetic programme guiding early development is well described, the formation of functional guard cells remains enigmatic. This review highlights recent findings on the developmental and morphogenetic processes shaping this essential and morphologically diverse cell type in ...

Leaf stomatal conductance and stomatal morphology of Musa germplasm
Drought tolerance combined with resistance to black sigatoka (BS) disease are two desirable traits for plantains in some parts of the tropics. Field evaluation of leaf stomatal conductance, single leaf transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and role of stomata in BS resistance, was done for 18 genotypes of Musa spp., which included diploid and ...
