TLDR
Abscisic acid, which inhibits stomatal opening, prevents the influx of K + ions into the guard cells in epidermal strips from leaves of Vicia jaba as discussed by the authors.

Potassium in crop production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed three main aspects of K+ in crop production, namely, K availability in the soil, the function of k+ in the plant, and potash fertilizer application.

Potassium Estimation, Uptake, and Its Role in the Physiology and Metabolism of Flowering Plants

TL;DR: The chapter reveals that potassium uptake is mainly metabolic at low external [K + ] ( M ), while it becomes increasingly nonmetabolic at higher (> 1 m M ) external [ K + ].

Synergism between calcium ions and abscisic acid in preventing stomatal opening

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the inhibition of stomatal opening in Commelina communis L. by abscisic acid (ABA) appears to be dependent on the availability of calcium ions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current concepts on the role of potassium in stomatal movements

TL;DR: In this article, a stoma opens when the surrounding guard cell pair increases in turgidity due to active accumulation of potassium in the guard cell vacuole and the intracellular compartmentation of potassium evokes compensatory accumulation of a yet-unidentified solute in the cell cytoplasm.

Reversal of ABA-Induced Stomatal Closure by Phenolic Compounds

TL;DR: Reversal of ABA-induced storaatal closure by phenolic results in opposite direction to that induced by ABA in mice is reported.

(+)-Abscisic Acid, the Growth Inhibitor induced in Detached Wheat Leaves by a Period of Wilting

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when excised wheat leaves are maintained in a wilted condition for a period of hours there is a considerable increase in the content of an acidic ether-soluble growth inhibiting substance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stomatal Closure and Inhibition of Transpiration induced by (RS)-Abscisic Acid

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that (RS)-abscisic acid induces stomatal closure and inhibits transpiration in excised leaves, and it was further shown that ABSCISIC acid affects several physiological and biochemical processes including abscission2,3, senescence3,4, flowering3, dormancy3 and enzyme activity.

The identification of (+)-abscisin II [(+)-dormin] in plants and measurement of its concentrations

TL;DR: Identification of several previously described growth-inhibitory compounds as (+)-abscisin II has extended the known physiological effects of the compound; its roles as a dormancy and an abscission factor and as a germination inhibitor are discussed.
