Open AccessGuard cells control hypocotyl elongation through HXK1, HY5, and PIF4
The hypocotyls of germinating seedlings elongate in a search for light to enable autotrophic sugar production. Upon exposure to light, photoreceptors that are activated by blue and red light halt elongation by...

Differential tissue-specific expression of NtAQP1 in Arabidopsis thaliana reveals a role for this protein in stomatal and mesophyll conductance of CO2 under standard and salt-stress conditions
The regulation of plant hydraulic conductance and gas conductance involves a number of different morphological, physiological and molecular mechanisms working in harmony. At the molecular level, aquaporins pla...
