Abstract excerpt
Stomata facilitate gas exchange across the otherwise virtually impermeable cuticle of the plant surface. To control this gas exchange, guard cells undergo reversible changes in their shape and volume to regulate the stomatal aperture. The ability of guard cells to undergo these changes likely requires flexibility of the guard cell wall. Here, we functionally characterized GELP80, a meristemoid-expressed...
