Formation of the Stomatal Outer Cuticular Ledge Requires a Guard Cell Wall Proline-Rich Protein.
Stomata are formed by a pair of guard cells which have thickened, elastic cell walls to withstand the large increases in turgor pressure that have to be generated to open the pore that they surround. We have characterized FOCL1, a guard cell-expressed, secreted protein with homology to Hyp-rich cell wall proteins. FOCL1-GFP localizes to the guard cell outer cuticular ledge and plants lacking FO...
متن کاملStomatal Function Requires Pectin De-methyl-esterification of the Guard Cell Wall
Stomatal opening and closure depends on changes in turgor pressure acting within guard cells to alter cell shape [1]. The extent of these shape changes is limited by the mechanical properties of the cells, which will be largely dependent on the structure of the cell walls. Although it has long been observed that guard cells are anisotropic due to differential thickening and the orientation of c...
متن کاملOn the ontogeny of stomata and glandular hairs in some Indian mangroves
Mature stomata of four mangrove taxa of different families reveal three distinct types of stomatal complex on abaxial surfaces, such as diacytic (in Acanthus ilicifolius), anomocytic (in Aegialitis rotundifolia and Xylocarpus granatum), and paracytic (in Ceriops decandra). In transverse section, there is a beak-like cuticular outgrowth overarching the stomatal pore either at the outer side or a...
متن کاملEffects of ascorbic acid on physiological and biochemical responses of Zinnia elegans L. to different levels of light intensity
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different light intensities and ascorbic acid on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of Zinnia elegans L. The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design in a form of split-plot with three replications. The treatments were consisted of three light intensity levels (600, 1200 and 1800 μmol m-2 s-1) as the main fa...
متن کاملVesicles in guard-cell walls and their possible roles in the stomatal mechanism.
A variety of vesicular inclusions have been observed in guard-cell walls. They have been seen in a number of species and are mostly membrane-bound. They appear confined to the upper and ventral walls of the guard cell. A number of possible origins and functions are discussed. They may be involved in wall deposition or cuticle formation possibly in a role similar to ectodesmata. They also may se...
