Guard Cells: Transcription Factors Regulate Stomatal Movements
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent work shows that transcription factors are necessary for stomatal movements in plants. Different members of the plant-specific R2R3-MYB transcription factor family are required for mediating stomatal opening in response to light and stomatal closure in response to darkness.

A Guard-Cell-Specific MYB Transcription Factor Regulates Stomatal Movements and Plant Drought Tolerance
Stomatal pores located on the plant epidermis regulate CO(2) uptake for photosynthesis and the loss of water by transpiration. The opening and closing of the pore is mediated by turgor-driven volume changes of two surrounding guard cells. These highly specialized cells integrate internal signals and environmental stimuli to modulate stomatal aperture for plant survival under diverse conditions....
متن کاملInward potassium channel in guard cells as a target for polyamine regulation of stomatal movements.
A number of studies show that environmental stress conditions such as drought, high salt, and air pollutants increase polyamine levels in plant cells. However, little is understood about the physiological function of elevated polyamine levels. We report here that polyamines regulate the voltage-dependent inward K(+) channel in the plasma membrane of guard cells and modulate stomatal aperture, a...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species in the Regulation of Stomatal Movements.
Guard cells form stomatal pores that optimize photosynthetic carbon dioxide uptake with minimal water loss. Stomatal movements are controlled by complex signaling networks that respond to environmental and endogenous signals. Regulation of stomatal aperture requires coordinated activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating enzymes, signaling proteins, and downstream executors such as ion...
متن کاملAtMYB61, an R2R3-MYB Transcription Factor Controlling Stomatal Aperture in Arabidopsis thaliana
Stomata, dynamic pores found on the surfaces of plant leaves, control water loss from the plant and regulate the uptake of CO(2) for photosynthesis. Stomatal aperture is controlled by the two guard cells that surround the stomatal pore. When the two guard cells are fully turgid, the pore gapes open, whereas turgor loss results in stomatal closure. In order to set the most appropriate stomatal a...
متن کاملA Dof Transcription Factor, SCAP1, Is Essential for the Development of Functional Stomata in Arabidopsis
Stomata are highly specialized organs that consist of pairs of guard cells and regulate gas and water vapor exchange in plants [1-3]. Although early stages of guard cell differentiation have been described [4-10] and were interpreted in analogy to processes of cell type differentiation in animals [11], the downstream development of functional stomatal guard cells remains poorly understood. We h...
