Abstract excerpt
Stomata regulate transpirational water loss and CO2 uptake for photosynthesis in response to changing environmental conditions. Research investigating stomatal movement has mostly been conducted in C3 eudicot species, which have very different CO2 requirements for photosynthesis relative to C4 grasses. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the hydration of CO2, and its activity has been linked to stomatal aperture...
