Rapid stomatal closure induced by changes in the environment, such as elevation of CO 2 ,
reduction of air humidity, darkness, and pulses of the air pollutant ozone ( O 3 ), involves the …

Background The Arabidopsis thaliana F-box protein MORE AXILLARY GROWTH2 (MAX2)
has previously been characterized for its role in plant development. MAX2 appears essential …

Plant gas exchange is regulated by guard cells that form stomatal pores. Stomatal adjustments
are crucial for plant survival; they regulate uptake of CO 2 for photosynthesis, loss of water…

The cuticle plays a critical role in plant survival during extreme drought conditions. There are,
however, surprisingly, many gaps in our understanding of cuticle biosynthesis. An …

Respiration in leaves and the continued elevation in the atmospheric CO 2 concentration
cause CO 2 ‐mediated reduction in stomatal pore apertures. Several mutants have been …

Strigolactones are a group of phytohormones that control developmental processes including
shoot branching and various plant–environment interactions in plants. We previously …

Plant transpiration is controlled by stomata, with S‐ and R‐type anion channels playing key
roles in guard cell action. Arabidopsis mutants lacking the ALMT12/QUAC1 R‐type anion …

The pollination of self-incompatible diploid sweet cherry is determined by the S-locus alleles.
We resolved the S-alleles of 50 sweet cherry cultivars grown in Estonia and determined …

The multinational Arabidopsis research community is highly collaborative and over the past
thirty years these activities have been documented by the Multinational Arabidopsis Steering …

Globodera rostochiensis resistance has been an important trait in potato (Solanum
tuberosum) breeding for decades. Our aim was to complement phenotypic testing with genetic …
