The acquisition of stomata is one of the key innovations that led to the colonisation of the
terrestrial environment by the earliest land plants. However, our understanding of the origin …

The origin of land plants and their descendants was marked by the evolution of key
adaptations to life in terrestrial environments such as roots, vascular tissue and stomata …

Climate change‐associated rise in VPD (atmospheric vapor pressure deficit) results in
increased plant transpiration and reduced stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, biomass …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-
associated nuclease (Cas) system allows precise and easy editing of genes in many plant …

Recent results suggest that metabolism‐mediated stomatal closure mechanisms are
important to regulate differentially the stomatal speediness between ferns and angiosperms …

Equisetum, or horsetail, is stubborn. This fern is the bane of gardeners and farmers alike and
is one of the world's most pernicious agricultural weeds. No wonder it is perhaps the oldest …

Adjustable stomatal pores in leaves control the balance between CO2 entry for
photosynthesis and water loss via transpiration. The drought and low humidity-induced …

Light is one of the most important environmental signals in plant growth, development, and
stress response. Green light has been proved to enhance plant defense against biotic …

BBX transcription factors play vital roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
Although BBX proteins have been studied in great detail in the model plant Arabidopsis …

Premise While angiosperms respond uniformly to abscisic acid (ABA) by stomatal closure,
the response of ferns to ABA is ambiguous. We evaluated the effect of endogenous ABA …
