phot1 and phot2 mediate blue light regulation of stomatal opening
Toshinori Kinoshita,Michio Doi,Noriyuki Suetsugu,Noriyuki Suetsugu,Takatoshi Kagawa,Takatoshi Kagawa,Masamitsu Wada,Masamitsu Wada,Ken-ichiro Shimazaki +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in a double mutant of phot1 and phot2 stomata do not respond to blue light although single mutants are phenotypically normal, and blue light receptors mediating stomatal opening are acted redundantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light Regulation of Stomatal Movement
TL;DR: Because the blue-light response of stomata appears to be strongly affected by red light, underlying mechanisms in the interaction between blue- light signaling and guard cell chloroplasts are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blue light activates the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase by phosphorylation of the C-terminus in stomatal guard cells.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BL activates the plasma membrane H+‐ATPase via phosphorylation of the C‐terminus by a serine/threonine protein kinase, and that the 14‐3‐3 protein has a key role in the activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blue light-dependent proton extrusion by guard-cell protoplasts of Vicia faba
TL;DR: Activation of an electrogenic plasmalemma H+-ATPase is postulated as the cause of blue light-induced H+ extrusion, and the kinetic relation between pulse input and response output matched closely that found for the stomatal response in intact leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Multisensory Guard Cell. Stomatal Responses to Blue Light and Abscisic Acid
TL;DR: Microscopic stomatal pores in the epidermes of aerial plant organs allow the loss of water vapor to the atmosphere in a process known as transpiration and the entry of CO2 into the plant for photosynthetic carbon fixation.
