Stomata are micropores on the leaf epidermis that allow carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake for
photosynthesis at the expense of water loss through transpiration. Stomata coordinate the …

Light intensity and quality influence photosynthesis directly but also have an indirect effect
by increasing stomatal apertures and enhancing gas exchange. Consequently, in areas …

By regulating carbon uptake and water loss by plants, stomata are not only responsible for
productivity but also survival during drought. The timing of the onset of stomatal closure is …

Functional redundancy is considered a pivotal mechanism for maintaining the adaptability of
species by preventing the loss of key functions in response to dehydration. However, we still …

The bundle sheath cell (BSC) layer tightly enveloping the xylem throughout the leaf is
recognized as a major signal-perceiving “valve” in series with stomata, regulating leaf …
