Abstract

Land plants are faced with competing demands to take up CO2 from the atmosphere while
limiting water loss. The functional solution to this dilemma is the regulation of stomatal
apertures. The guard cells of stomata respond, in order to achieve optimal conductance, to
various environmental and endogenous stimuli. In this paper the effects of main abiotic
factors on stomata are described and presented by original porometric data. In addition the
signal transduction in the regulation of guard cells response, including recent findings related
to this topic is discussed.
