This project investigates the development and regulation of stomata on the upper surfaces of leaves in certain plants. By creating variants of the model plant Arabidopsis, it aims to understand the physiological role of these stomata and their impact on plant fitness under varying environmental conditions.
Plant leaves are polar organs with different upper (adaxial) and lower (abaxial) surfaces.
Stomata are adjustable pores in leaves that allow CO2 influx for photosynthesis and mediate water loss via transpiration.
These key structures that control plant survival and productivity are polarly localised only in leaf abaxial epidermis in most plants (hypostomaty).
Some plants have stomata also on the upper leaf side; such amphistomatous plants should have a fitness advantage due to a better photosynt…
