AI Article Synopsis
- Regulation of stomatal aperture is crucial for plants during drought stress.
- Yang et al. discovered that microRNA-plantacyanin (PCY) controls stomata movement by responding to abscisic acid (ABA) and managing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in guard cells.
- This research opens up possibilities for using miRNAs in genetic engineering aimed at enhancing stress resistance in plants.
Article Abstract
Regulation of stomatal aperture is paramount in drought-stress responses. Recently, Yang et al. demonstrated how microRNA-plantacyanin (PCY) regulates stomata movement by revealing a novel mechanism responsive to abscisic acid (ABA) that controls reactive oxygen species (ROS) in guard cells. This sets a precedent for using miRNAs as a new target for stress-resistance genetic engineering.
