The control of gaseous exchange between the leaf and bulk atmosphere by stomata
governs CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and transpiration, determining plant productivity and …

Here, we review information on how plants face redox imbalance caused by climate change,
and focus on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in this response. Life on Earth is possible thanks to …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many key processes involved in plant
development and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. Under stress conditions, plants …

Intracellular potassium homeostasis is a prerequisite for the optimal operation of plant
metabolic machinery and plant's overall performance. It is controlled by K+ uptake, efflux …

As sessile organisms, plants have developed specific mechanisms that allow them to rapidly
perceive and respond to stresses in the environment. Among the evolutionarily conserved …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous reactive oxygen species (ROS) that has evolved as a
signaling hormone in many physiological processes in animals. In plants it has been …

Partially and fully completed plant genome sequencing projects in both lower and higher
plants allow drawing a comprehensive picture of the molecular and structural diversities of …

Stomatal pores are formed by pairs of specialized epidermal guard cells and serve as major
gateways for both CO2 influx into plants from the atmosphere and transpirational water loss …

Stomatal guard cells are widely recognized as the premier plant cell model for membrane
transport, signaling, and homeostasis. This recognition is rooted in half a century of research …

Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates key processes relevant to seed germination, plant
development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. Abiotic stress conditions such as …
