TL;DR: This work represents the most extensive proteomic description of B. napus guard cells and has improved the knowledge of the functional specification of guard cell and mesophyll cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that RNA secondary structure broadly regulates gene expression in response to heat shock in this essential crop species, and heat-induced DMS reactivity increases correlate with significant decreases in transcript abundance, as quantified from an RNA-seq time course, indicating that mRNA unfolding promotes transcript degradation.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ABA functions upstream to regulate other hormones, and are also consistent with G proteins modulating multiple hormonal signaling pathways.

TL;DR: Current knowledge regarding drought responses of canola, including physiological and -omics effects of drought, are summarized and will inform novel strategies for improvement of drought tolerance and yield in this and other important crop species.

TL;DR: An inventory of potential redox switches is created, a protein redox regulatory mechanism in ABA and MeJA signal transduction in guard cells is highlighted, and two proteins were confirmed to be redox-regulated and involved in stomatal movement.
