A guard-cell-specific MYB transcription factor regulates stomatal movements and plant drought tolerance.

TL;DR: Stomatal control was a key factor leading to Pn and WUEi differences and ultimately inducing WUEL and δ13C differences and, PdERECTA may play the same role in Populus×euramericana as it does in Arabidopsis, real-time polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) analysis revealed.

TL;DR: This work has provided novel insights into the plant response to cold stress and should pave the way for future studies towards functional analysis of candidate genes in cold response.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the genes determining colour in beans are structural and regulatory genes of the phenylpropanoid was test to help breeders to select for more nutritionally-beneficial bean varieties.

TL;DR: In this paper, an Arabidopsis stomatal-specific promoter (AtMYB60) was proposed for the selective expression of recombinant nucleic acids in plants, allowing the regulation of stomata opening/closing states thereby modulating the plant ability to resist to adverse environmental or climatic conditions.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in a double mutant of phot1 and phot2 stomata do not respond to blue light although single mutants are phenotypically normal, and blue light receptors mediating stomatal opening are acted redundantly.

TL;DR: The molecular understanding of the guard cell signal transduction network opens possibilities for engineering stomatal responses to control CO2 intake and plant water loss.

TL;DR: Results suggest that AZF2 and STZ function as transcriptional repressors to increase stress tolerance following growth retardation and Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing STZ showed growth retardations and tolerance to drought stress.

TL;DR: Exposure profiling reveals ABA modulation of many known guard cell ABA signaling components at the transcript level, and a highly ABA-induced protein phosphatase 2C transcript, AtP2C-HA, is identified in guard cells.
