Stomatal patchiness and cellular computing Open
Control of carbon dioxide and water vapor exchange between a leaf’s interior and the surrounding air is accomplished by variations in the turgor pressures in the small epidermal and guard cells that cover the leaf’s surface. These pressure…

Control of gas exchange between a leafs interior and the surrounding air is accomplished by variations in the turgor pressures in the small epidermal and guard cells that cover the leafs surface. These pressures respond to changes in light…

Blue and red light effects on stomatal oscillations Open
The response of stomata to red and blue light was investigated using small fibre optics (66 µm diameter) to control light levels on a single pair of guard cells without affecting the surrounding tissue. Low intensity red light (50 µmol m–2…

Effects of the mesophyll on stomatal responses in amphistomatous leaves Open
The role of the mesophyll in stomatal functioning in thin amphistomatous leaves was investigated by altering gas exchange for one surface and observing the effects on stomatal conductance for the other surface. Three methods of perturbing …

Stomatal heterogeneity in responses to humidity and temperature: Testing a mechanistic model Open
The role of stomatal heterogeneity in the response of stomatal conductance ( g s ) to the mole fraction difference in water vapour between the inside of the leaf and the ambient air (Δ w ) was determined using thermography and gas exchange…
