Funded Activity Summary

Using Arabidopsis mutants to discover the role of guard cell chloroplasts in the stomatal response to light. This project will use novel molecular approaches to study how guard cells on the surface of leaves regulate plant water loss and CO2 uptake. This will provide new molecular tools for improving plant water use in agricultural species and aid process based modelling of CO2 and water exchange needed for predicting climate change.
