Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency? [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

Epidemiology and Genetics of Rheumatic Diseases Suggest a Constant Rate of DNA Damage as Underlying Cause. [PDF]
ImmunologyA constant rate of DNA damage that is not perfectly repaired will cause a constant rate of DNA mutations. The chance of mutation will increase if DNA is prone to damage, such as occurs in somatic hypermutation (SHM) hotspots and GC‐rich DNA. Thus, if one mutation‐prone DNA site drives disease, the age of onset of disease and degree of penetrance should

Effect of (Changes in) Air Humidity on Transpiration and (Adaptation of) Stomatal Closure of Tradescantia Leaves during Water Stress [PDF]
, 2009 This paper summarises our recent research on the physiological effects of prolonged high RH during growth on stomatal function and we discuss possibilities that arise from this work for reducing postharvest quality problems in cut flowers.

Effect of Relative Air Himidity on the Stomatal Functionality in Fully Developed Leaves [PDF]
, 2010 Several studies have shown that stomata developed under long-term high relative air humidity (RH =85%) are malfunctional, resulting in a poor control of water loss.
