Stomatal Patchiness

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany ((BOTANY,volume 59))

Abstract

“Stomatal patchiness”, the phenomenon where the heterogeneous distribution of stomatal apertures results in a patchy carbon assimilation and transpiration, has increasingly drawn the attention of plant ecophysiologists, particularly of those who employ gas-exchange methodology. Since stomatal homogeneity is an assumption in the standard method of calculating net photosynthesis (A), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (Gs) and leaf internal CO2 partial pressure (ci) from gas-exchange measurements (von Caemmerer and Farquhar 1981), stomatal patchiness may lead to erroneous estimations. Although several investigations reported inhomogeneous distributions of stomatal aperture on a leaf surface (e.g. Molisch 1912; Cruiziat et al. 1979; Laisk et al. 1980; Spence 1987; van Gardingen et al. 1989), the consequences on calculated gas-exchange parameters were not assessed. Justification for ignoring inhomogeneous stomatal aperture was suggested by Sharkey et al. (1982), who found (in unstressed leaves) that direct measurements of internal CO2 partial pressures were quite similar to values calculated from gas-exchange measurements assuming stomatal homogeneity.
