Design of a microscopy-based screening method for stomatal development genes in <i>arabidopsis thaliana</i>
… gas exchange and transpiration. Regulation of stomatal behavior offers opportunity for crop improvement; stomata are also useful for research into cell patterning, differentiation, and development. The purpose of this project was to create a reverse genetics, microscopy-based screening method …

The role of NAD+ compartmentation and dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana
… establishment, photosynthesis, metabolism, stomatal density and stomatal conductance. To extend our knowledge on the importance of NAD+ dynamics, we used mutants for NAD+ transport and focused in comprehend: (1) how altered NAD + distribution affects stomatal development in cotyledons, (2) …

A putative approach for influencing stomatal density by over-expressing NADP-dependent malic enzyme in arabidopsis
… will examine a possible mode for regulating stomatal density by over-expressing NADP-dependent malic enzyme (NADP-ME), which is thought to deplete the counter-anion pool in Arabidopsis thaliana guard cells. It was hypothesized that over-expressing NADP-ME in Arabidopsis will elevate stomatal …

Investigations on the influence of CO2 on leaf epidermal development in Arabidopsis thaliana
… exchange of gas, water and nutrients. Epidermal development is environmentally sensitive, allowing plants to adapt successive phytomers to serial stresses and opportunities throughout the growth cycle. During leaf development, cell patterning, cytological features and epicuticular wax deposition …

DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF SCANNING ELECTROCHEMICAL MICROSCOPY (SECM)
… The cadmium (Cd) effects on photosynthesis and stomatal development of Brassica Juncea L. are studied at a single stomatal level using SECM. Cd-treated plants release less O2 than the control ones. Cd causes less stomatal density and larger size of stomatal structures. The stomata structures, …

Evolution of stomata in mosses (Bryophyta): From molecules to form and function
… are aimed at clarifying the structure, development and evolution of moss stomata. The first study focuses on the sporophyte anatomy and stomatal ultrastructure in two structurally and phylogenetically divergent mosses, Oedipodium and Ephemerum. Oedipodium is the sister to peristomate …

Physiology, genetics and genomics of drought adaptation in Populus
… and Populus trichocarpa, showed differences in stomatal conductance and carbon isotope composition in both clones and the F2 progeny. It was also used to discover QTL related to water use efficiency highlighting interesting areas of the genome. Combining QTL discovery and microarray analysis of …

High-throughput phenotyping and physiological genetics of stomatal patterning and water use efficiency in maize
… and efflux of H2O as water transpires. Stomatal patterning on the epidermis (stomatal density, area, size dimensions, degree of clustering etc.) has been speculated to affect gas exchange in different ways, and this thesis aims to examine the characteristics of stomatal pattering in …

Mortality of native forest vegetation in the Kaimai ranges
… During the summer 1981/2 water potential and stomatal aperture were monitored at a number of localities inside and outside the fog zone. Within the fog zone dawn water potentials remained high and were close to full turgor when overnight fog was present. Midday values generally compare with …
