Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on stomatal chloroplast-independent and drought-independent CO2 signalling pathways responsible for higher-order information processing in the stomatal apparatus, we sought to identify novel CO2 signalling and higher-order information processing factors. Proteomic analysis of isolated stomatal chloroplasts identified stomatal chloroplast factors involved in the regulation of stomatal opening and closing. Analysis of the causal gene of a CO2-insensitive mutant revealed that PE, a phospholipid abundant in pore cells, is essential for stomatal opening. Furthermore, thermal imaging mutant screening isolated a mutant with an abnormal ABA-independent stomatal closure response.
