Update: Stomatal function across temporal and spatial scales: deep-time trends, land-atmosphere coupling and global models
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: Updates, Research, Research BlogBy Peter J Franks, Joseph A Berry, Danica L. Lombardozzi, and Gordon B Bonan
The colonization of land by plants and their interaction with biogeochemical and atmospheric processes transformed continental climate and hydrology. Stomata, which evolved to optimize the biological economics of plant carbon…
Update: Blue light regulation of stomatal opening and the plasma membrane H+-ATPase
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: Updates, Research, Research BlogBy Shin-ichiro Inoue, and Toshinori Kinoshita
Light-induced stomatal responses were first reported 23 by Francis Darwin (1898). Stomata open in response to light, including blue and red light (Shimazaki et al., 2007). Red light induces stomatal opening via photosynthesis in the mesophyll and guard…

The Long Non-coding RNA ELENA1 Functions in Plant Immunity
Blog, Research, The Plant Cell: In BriefOnce seen as potential sequencing artifacts, long, non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs, >200 nucleotides) have gained recognition as important regulatory factors. LncRNAs are transcribed from a variety of genomic locations (introns, intergenic spaces, and coding regions) from the sense or antisense strand (reviewed…
