Reduced stomatal density in bread wheat leads to increased water-use efficiency
Jessica Dunn,Lee Hunt,Mana Afsharinafar,Moaed Al Meselmani,Alice Mitchell,Rhian M. Howells,Emma J. Wallington,Andrew J. Fleming,Julie E. Gray +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that engineering lower stomatal density in wheat leaves can improve water-use efficiency, yet maintain yield.
Cell density and airspace patterning in the leaf can be manipulated to increase leaf photosynthetic capacity
Christoph A. Lehmeier,Radoslaw Pajor,Marjorie R. Lundgren,Andrew Mathers,Jen Sloan,Marion Bauch,Alice Mitchell,Chandra Bellasio,Adam W. Green,Daniel Bouyer,Arp Schnittger,Craig J. Sturrock,Colin P. Osborne,Stephen A. Rolfe,Sacha J. Mooney,Andrew J. Fleming +15 more
TL;DR: It is shown that increased cell density in the mesophyll of Arabidopsis can be used to increase leaf photosynthetic capacity, and that it is possible to engineer improved photosynthesis via this approach.

Formation of the Stomatal Outer Cuticular Ledge Requires a Guard Cell Wall Proline-Rich Protein
Lee Hunt,Sam Amsbury,Alice L. Baillie,Mahsa Movahedi,Alice Mitchell,Mana Afsharinafar,Kamal Swarup,Thomas Denyer,Jamie K. Hobbs,Ranjan Swarup,Andrew J. Fleming,Julie E. Gray +11 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that FOCL1 acts in these highly specialized cells of the stomata and root to impart cell wall strength at high turgor and/or to facilitate interactions between the cell wall and the cuticle.
A change in temperature modulates defence to yellow (stripe) rust in wheat line UC1041 independently of resistance gene Yr36
Ruth Bryant,Graham R. D. McGrann,Graham R. D. McGrann,Alice Mitchell,Henk-jan Schoonbeek,Lesley A Boyd,Lesley A Boyd,Cristobal Uauy,Cristobal Uauy,Stephen Dorling,Christopher J. Ridout +10 more
TL;DR: Previously uncharacterised defence temperature sensitivity in the UC1041 background which is caused by a change in temperature and independently of Yr36 is revealed, suggesting that Pst defence may be more stable in some cultivars than others when plants are exposed to varying temperatures.

Bacterial infection systemically suppresses stomatal density
Christian Dutton,Hanna Hõrak,Christopher Hepworth,Alice Mitchell,Jurriaan Ton,Lee Hunt,Julie E. Gray +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that following infection, development of new leaves is altered by a signalling pathway with some commonalities to systemic acquired resistance, which acts to reduce the potential for future infection by providing fewer stomatal openings.
