The HIC signalling pathway links CO2 perception to stomatal development
Article Abstract:
New research has identified the gene responsible for regulating the response to carbon dioxide concentration by plants. The gene encodes an enzyme involved in synthesizing long-chain fatty acids in stomatal guard cells.

The role of stomata in sensing and driving environmental change
Article Abstract:
This review discusses the diversified functions and adaptations of stomata in relation to environmental conditions and intracellular signalling. Research shows that stomata in the shape of small pores on the surfaces of leaves and stalks, play an important role in plant physiology, evolution, and global ecology. Furthermore, they respond to climatic changes in response to cellular control systems.

The vacuolar Ca(super 2+)-activated channel TPC1 regulates germination and stomatal movement
Article Abstract:
The TPC1 (two-pore channel 1) gene of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a class of Ca(super 2+)-dependent Ca(super 2+)-release channel that is known as the slow vacuolar channel. A tpc1 knockout mutant lacks functional slow vacuolar channel activity and is defective in both abscisic acid-induced repression of germination and in the response of stomata to extracellular calcium.
