Quantitative trait loci mapping and candidate gene analysis of stoma-related traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) glumes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The photosynthesis of wheat glumes makes important contributions to the yield. Stomata play a crucial role in regulating photosynthesis and transpiration in plants. However, the genetic base of wheat glume stomata is not fully understood.

Relationships of stomatal morphology to the environment across plant communities
Nature Communications, 2023 The relationship between stomatal traits and environmental drivers across plant communities has important implications for ecosystem carbon and water fluxes, but it has remained unclear.

Foliar and wood traits covary along a vertical gradient within the crown of long-lived light-demanding species of the Congo Basin semi-deciduous forest [PDF]
, 2019 Plant functional traits have shown to be relevant predictors of forest functional responses to climate change. However, the trait-based approach to study plant performances and ecological strategies has mostly been focused on trait comparisons at the ...

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]
, 2018 The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.

Stomatal Closure during Leaf Dehydration, Correlation with Other Leaf Physiological Traits [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2003 Abstract The question as to what triggers stomatal closure during leaf desiccation remains controversial. This paper examines characteristics of the vascular and photosynthetic functions of the leaf to determine which responds most similarly to stomata during desiccation.

Photosynthetic pathway and ecological adaptation explain stomatal trait diversity amongst grasses [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2011 Summary The evolution of C4 photosynthesis in plants has allowed the maintenance of high CO2 assimilation rates despite lower stomatal conductances. This underpins the greater water‐use efficiency in C4 species and their tendency to occupy drier, more seasonal environments than their C3 relatives.
