1) Phototropin receptors in the guard cells of stomata receives blue light; 2) Signal transmission by BLUS1, BHP and PP1 (proposed signaling components); 3) Activation of the plasma membrane ...

Dr. Xiangyu Xu (VIB-UGent), first author of the study said, "Opening and closing of stomata are rapid responses that require switch-like signaling mechanisms. We know that phosphorylation-encoded ...

"The findings shed light on the intricate signaling pathways underlying plant responses to light and hold promise for future applications in plant engineering." Stomata are microscopic pores on ...
