Abstract excerpt
Starch in guard cells functions in osmoregulation during stomatal movements. Starch metabolism is controlled by the circadian clock. We investigated the role of starch metabolism in stomatal responses to CO2 under different photoperiodic conditions. Guard cell starch levels correlate with low/high [CO2 ] exposure. Starch biosynthesis-deficient AGPase (ADG1) mutants but, unexpectedly, not the starch...
