Stomata play a pivotal role in balancing CO uptake for photosynthesis and water loss via transpiration. Thus, appropriate regulation of stomatal movement and its formation are crucial for plant growth and survival. Red and blue light induce phosphorylation of the C-terminal residue of the plasma membrane (PM) H-ATPase, threonine, in guard cells, generating the driving force for stomatal opening.
