Reducing stomatal density in barley improves drought tolerance without impacting on yield.
Jonathan Hughes,Christopher Hepworth,Christopher Hepworth,Christian Dutton,Jessica Dunn,Lee Hunt,Jennifer Stephens,Jennifer Stephens,Robbie Waugh,Robbie Waugh,Duncan D. Cameron,Duncan D. Cameron,Julie E. Gray +12 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of manipulating stomatal frequency for the protection and optimization of cereal crop yields under future drier environments and identify and manipulate the expression of a barley ortholog.

The influence of stomatal morphology and distribution on photosynthetic gas exchange.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the interplay between stomatal gaseous exchange and photosynthesis is complex, and that a disconnect often exists between the rates of CO2 diffusion and photosynthetic carbon fixation.

Manipulating stomatal density enhances drought tolerance without deleterious effect on nutrient uptake
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increasing transpiration can enhance nutrient uptake when water is plentiful and the possibility of producing plants with reduced transpiration which have increased drought tolerance, with little or no loss of nutrient uptake.
Stomatal development: focusing on the grasses.
TL;DR: This review revisits how stomatal developmental unfolds in grasses, and identifies key ontogenetic steps for which knowledge of the underpinning molecular mechanisms remains outstanding.

Dynamic thylakoid stacking and state transitions work synergistically to avoid acceptor-side limitation of photosystem I.
Christopher Hepworth,William H.J. Wood,Tom Z. Emrich-Mills,Matthew S. Proctor,Stuart A. Casson,Matthew P. Johnson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare Arabidopsis wild-type, stn7 and tap38 plants with the psal mutant, which undergoes dynamic thylakoid stacking but lacks state transitions.
