Article Synopsis
- The evolution of adjustable stomatal pores was crucial for terrestrial life, allowing plants to control CO2 uptake effectively.
- This study explores the signaling pathways in guard cells that manage stomatal movements by comparing the transcriptomes and physiological responses of ferns and flowering plants (angiosperms).
- Findings reveal that while ferns and angiosperms have similar core mechanisms, ferns are less responsive to abscisic acid (ABA), indicating a complex evolutionary history with variations in SLAC channel activation related to specific plant lineages and ecological needs.
