Cruciferous plants' pungent defense mechanism: How repurposed stomatal genes also fend off herbivores

Throughout evolution, plants have continuously adapted to survive in changing environments. Apart from complex structural changes, plants have also developed various defense strategies against herbivores, including tougher protective layers, thorns, and chemical deterrents.

As a signaling molecule, hydrogen sulfide is vital for #stomatal closure. In this #FreeAccess Brief Communication, Liu et al. show that H2S induces persulfidation of the C-terminus of the KAT1 subunit in #Arabidopsis, likely disrupting its oligomerization and inhibiting inward K+ translocation.

A Model Approach to Understanding the Properties of Guard Cell Walls: The Key to Stomatal Function

A bottom-up model of wall mechanics in stomatal guard cells reveals how wall composition and structure modulate the biomechanical properties that enable stomatal movements.
