Stomatal development in Arabidopsis.
Stomata consist of two guard cells around a pore and act as turgor-operated valves for gas exchange. Arabidopsis stomata develop from one or more asymmetric divisions followed by the symmetric division of the guard mother cell. Stomatal number is partly a function of the availability of smaller epidermal cells that are competent to divide asymmetrically. Stomata are spaced apart from each other...
متن کاملMolecular control of stomatal development
Plants have evolved developmental plasticity which allows the up- or down-regulation of photosynthetic and water loss capacities as new leaves emerge. This developmental plasticity enables plants to maximise fitness and to survive under differing environments. Stomata play a pivotal role in this adaptive process. These microscopic pores in the epidermis of leaves control gas exchange between th...
متن کاملStomatal development: from neighborly to global communication.
Stomata are epidermal structures that are responsible for modulating the exchange of gases between the plant and the environment. Stomata are formed and patterned by asymmetric cell divisions. The number and orientation of these asymmetric divisions is informed by plant intrinsic signals acting locally (among epidermal cells) or at a distance (from mature to young leaves) and by plant extrinsic...
متن کاملOrigins and Evolution of Stomatal Development.
The fossil record suggests stomata-like pores were present on the surfaces of land plants over 400 million years ago. Whether stomata arose once or whether they arose independently across newly evolving land plant lineages has long been a matter of debate. In Arabidopsis, a genetic toolbox has been identified that tightly controls stomatal development and patterning. This includes the basic hel...
متن کاملPlant virus infections control stomatal development
Stomata are important regulators of carbon dioxide uptake and transpirational water loss. They also represent points of vulnerability as bacterial and fungal pathogens utilise this natural opening as an entry portal, and thus have an increasingly complex relationship. Unlike the situation with bacterial and fungal pathogens, we know very little about the role of stomata in viral infection. Here...
