Coordination Between Photosynthesis and Stomatal Behavior

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Leaf: A Platform for Performing Photosynthesis

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 44))

Summary

Stomata open and close in response to internal and external signals to balance CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration. For a plant to function efficiently, this balance is essential to ensure adequate CO2 uptake for mesophyll demands and sufficient water loss to maintain transpiration and optimal leaf temperature from evaporative cooling for maximal photosynthetic performance, while also ensuring an appropriate whole plant water status. Both stomata and mesophyll respond to external and internal cues and there is a close synchrony between stomata movements and mesophyll photosynthesis. However, the mechanism(s) that co-ordinate these two responses are unknown. Here we examine evidence for a mesophyll driven signal and discuss possible candidates for such a signal. We also provide a brief review of some of the experimental approaches adopted for exploring mesophyll-stomatal interactions. We discuss a possible role for guard cell chloroplasts and guard cell photosynthesis as a mechanism for this co-ordination. Finally, we show that stomatal responses are different on adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces, raising further questions regarding mesophyll driven signals co-ordinating behavior. We conclude that despite numerous studies, the mesophyll signal remains to be elucidated, and that further research is needed to determine the mechanisms and signal transduction pathways that facilitate the well observed correlation between mesophyll photosynthetic rates and stomatal conductance.
