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 …

Natural inputs of chlorine (Cl) to soils come mainly from rainwater, sea spray, dust and air
pollution. In addition, human practices, such as irrigation and fertilization, contribute …

Light activates proton (H+)‐ATPases in guard cells, to drive hyperpolarization of the plasma
membrane to initiate stomatal opening, allowing diffusion of ambient CO2 to photosynthetic …

Stomata regulate gas exchange between plants and atmosphere by integrating opening and
closing signals. Stomata open in response to low CO2 concentrations to maximize …

Anion channels are well documented in various tissues, cell types and membranes of algae
and higher plants, and current evidence supports their central role in cell signaling …

Recent years have seen considerable progress in identifying anion channel activities in
higher plant cells. This review outlines the functional properties of plasma membrane anion …

Light-induced stomatal opening stimulates CO2 uptake and transpiration in plants. Weak
blue light under strong red light effectively induces stomatal opening. Blue light-dependent …

Molecular chaperones of the heat shock cognate 70 kDa (HSC70) family are highly
conserved in all living organisms and assist nascent protein folding in normal physiological …

We explored the functioning of the slowly activating anion conductance, S-type or SLAC,
and of the quickly activating anion conductance, R-type or QUAC, in whole guard cells of …

We investigated the molecular basis and physiological implications of anion transport during
pollen tube (PT) growth in Arabidopsis thaliana (Col‐0). Patch‐clamp whole‐cell …
