PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Physiological and molecular regulation of stomatal movement

Stomata function as hydraulic valves on the surface of leaves and regulate the fluxes of CO2 and water to and from the plant and determine how plants survive dry conditions. Although much physiological data is available on how stomata respond to environmental changes in light, CO2, and humidity, mechanisms are poorly understood.

This project is open to Honours, Bachelor, Masters and PhD students
