| Research Abstract |
The effects of changes in CO2 concentration (100 or 700 ppm) on stomatal responses in red or white light were examined microscopically in a leaf segment, an epidermal strip and an epidermal strip placed on a mesophyll segment of Commelina communis, all mounted on abuffer-containing gel. In both red and white light, stomata of the leaf segment opened/closed rapidly at low/high CO2. In red light, epidermal strip stomata barely responded to CO2. In white light, they opened at low CO2, but hardly closed at high CO2. Stomata of the epidermal strip placed on the mesophyll responded in the same manner as those on the leaf segment. We also confirmed that the apoplast transfer of ‘mesophyll signals’ and the stomatal opening at low CO2 are dependent on photosynthesis, whereas the stomatal closure at high CO2 is independent of photosynthesis. It is highly possible that productionof mesophyll signlas in the light depends on the wavelength.
