NEW Webinar 草特化细胞在控制气孔关闭和植物蒸腾方面的作用
2024-03-0131美国PP SYSTEMS公司将于美国东部时间2024年3月13日上午11点邀请美国马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校生物学系Dr. Facette和Le Liu为全球用户做题为“Roles of specialized cells in grasses to control stomatal closure and plant transpiration”的学术报告,有意者可访问美国PP SYSTEMS公司官网https://ppsystems.com/webinars/注册报名参加。
Stomata are small pores on the leaf surface of land plants that facilitate gas exchange. Grass stomata have fast stomatal responses, which may be associated with the dumbbell-shaped guard cells and lateral subsidiary cells. Subsidiary cells are thought to reciprocally exchange water and ions with guard cells. However, the relative contribution of subsidiary cells and the mechanisms of how they contribute are unclear. In this study, Le Liu and Michelle Facette measured the stomatal conductance and photosynthesis of plants to prove the necessary role of subsidiary cells to the guard cells.
