Research Abstract |
Stomata in the epidermis of aerial plants open in response to blue light, which facilitates gas exchange between leaves and atmosphere, allowing the uptake of CO_2 for photosynthesis and the loss of water via transpiration. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of blue light signaling mediated by protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) in guard cells, and identified the regulatory subunit and putative substrate proteins of PP1 in this process.
