Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Aa Aa Aa. Figure 1: Vacuoles in plant cells. Vacuolar proteins are synthesized and processed in the endoplasmic reticulum ER , and transferred to vacuoles through various routes.
A pair of guard cells surrounds each stoma, and these cells control the opening and closing of the stomatal pore between them. Why do plants spend energy on opening and closing these stomata, when they could leave them constantly open, and let CO 2 flow freely?
The primary reason is that stomata also regulate the passage of water molecules. If the stomata were constantly open, plants would lose too much water via evaporation from the leaf surface, a process called transpiration. Nature , — doi All rights reserved.

Stomata enable gaseous exchange between the interior of the leaf and the atmosphere through the stomatal pore. Control of the pore aperture depends on osmotic solute accumulation by, and its loss from the guard cells surrounding the pore. Stomata in most plants are separated by at least one epidermal cell, and this spacing is thought to enhance stomatal function, although there are several genera that exhibit stomata in clusters.
We made use of Arabidopsis Arabidopsis thaliana stomatal patterning mutants to explore the impact of clustering on guard cell dynamics, gas exchange, and ion transport of guard cells. Our findings underline the significance of spacing for stomatal dynamics. Stomata are pores found in the epidermis of most aerial parts of plants and are formed between a specialized pair of cells, the guard cells.
Stomata facilitate the uptake of CO 2 at the expense of water vapor release via transpiration Hetherington and Woodward, Hence, stomata play a crucial role in the physiology of plants. They permit gaseous exchange between the environment and the inside of the leaf for photosynthesis and, in turn, they influence the water use efficiency and growth of the plant. Mathematical models have suggested that historical changes in the freshwater resources can be attributed to stomatal transpiration, and it has been argued that the manipulation of stomata will be an important factor in ensuring water availability over the next 20 to 30 years UNESCO World Water Development Report, Efforts to develop crops with higher water use efficiency through conventional breeding strategies have led to some successes, including the Drysdale wheat Triticum aestivum variety Condon et al.
It is likely that further advances will be possible as we gain insights into the physiology of stomata in situ. The regulation of gas exchange is achieved by controlling the stomatal pore.
Stomata respond dynamically to environmental changes, including light quality and intensity, ambient CO 2 concentration, and humidity Aphalo and Jarvis, ; Hetherington and Woodward, ; Shimazaki et al. Stomatal movements result from changes in guard cell volume and turgor and are driven by solute and water fluxes across the plasma membrane and tonoplast of guard cells.
It has generally been argued that the osmotic solutes required for stomatal movements are provided by the surrounding leaf tissues, which act as both a source and sink for ions Raschke and Fellows, ; MacRobbie and Lettau, ; Outlaw, ; Wilmer and Fricker, ; Franks and Farquhar, The presence of epidermal neighboring cells to provide an exchange of osmotic solute also is argued to eliminate the mechanical back pressure from guard cells. Indeed, Franks and Farquhar have noted the distinct arrangements of stomatal complexes between species and their association with adjacent epidermal cells allowing the ion exchange required for the opening process.
The majority of plant species follow a one-cell spacing rule during epidermal development that leads to the separation of stomata by at least one epidermal cell Geisler et al. However, there are several genera that diverge from this rule. For instance, stomatal clustering in Begonia has been considered to be an adaptation for growth in ecological niches with low water availability Hoover, ; Tang et al.
Even so, no quantitative data are available confirming an advantage of species with stomatal clusters to grow in dry environments. To date, only one study with Arabidopsis transgenic lines has reported on the impact of stomatal clustering in plant physiology, suggesting a negative correlation between gaseous exchange and the degree of clustering Dow et al.
Those authors speculated that the much-reduced availability of adjacent epidermal cells could explain the altered stomatal behavior in plants with stomatal clusters. We have revisited the physiological impact of stomatal clustering, making use of the Arabidopsis mutant too many mouths tmm1 ; Yang and Sack, ; Geisler et al. We find that stomatal clustering of the Arabidopsis tmm1 mutant affects stomatal behavior. We also provide evidence that this impairment is linked to changes in ion transport at the guard cell plasma membrane and is independent of the presence of neighboring epidermal cells that mediate ionic exchange with the guard cells.
These results emphasize the importance of spacing between stomata to ensure proper stomatal behavior and indicate that its impact goes beyond sole mechanical, spatial, or source-sink relations. Stomatal patterning was analyzed in epidermal peels from Arabidopsis wild-type Columbia-0 Col-0 , the tmm1 mutant, and the complementation line PTMM1 Fig. The mean stomatal density ranged between to stomata per mm 2 for Arabidopsis. The tmm1 plants showed significantly higher stomatal density compared with wild-type and PTMM1 plants.
The lines showed an inverse correlation between stomatal density and size, with smaller stomata being more numerous Fig.
The differences in the number and size of stomata also were apparent in the stomatal index, which is the ratio of the number of stomata over the number of nonstomatal cells. Stomatal characteristics of Arabidopsis lines. The images at top display representative micrographs from the abaxial side of Arabidopsis wild-type Col-0 , tmm1 , and PTMM1 plants.
A to C, Stomatal patterning was determined from epidermal peels of wild-type white symbols , tmm1 black symbols , and PTMM1 gray symbols plants. We examined stomatal opening in stomatal clusters by treating epidermal peels with depolarizing buffer 60 m m KCl-MES, pH 6. Maximum opening of stomatal pores was measured by incorporating the geometry of individual guard cells as well as the whole stoma to calculate the area within the pore, as described previously Doheny-Adams et al.
The wild-type and PTMM1 plants yielded stomatal apertures of We also carried out infrared gas analysis at the leaf level to estimate the diffusional stomatal conductance using saturating light as the opening stimulus.
We also calculated the theoretical maximum conductance for water vapor G Wmax of each line based on the measurements of maximum stomatal aperture as well as the spatial specifications of stomata. G Wmax was positively correlated with the stomatal density Fig. Both observations were consistent with previous reports Franks et al. We noted that the G Wmax of tmm1 was greater than that of the plants with single stomata but that measured conductances were indistinguishable among the lines, indicating that the mutant was unable to approach its theoretical maximum as closely as the wild-type and PTMM1 plants.
Evidence for the effects of stomatal clustering on stomatal function is scarce. Only Dow et al. We carried out complementary measurements, examining the effects of light and dark transitions on CO 2 assimilation and transpiration associated with the dynamics of stomatal movements Supplemental Fig.
Stomatal clustering in Arabidopsis plants did not influence the kinetics of changes in gas exchange under any light or dark treatment Table I , but it did affect the steady-state rates of gas exchange Fig. Gas-exchange data from Arabidopsis plants under low and saturating light intensity were fitted to nonlinear regression models to extrapolate half-times for CO 2 assimilation, transpiration under light, and transpiration under darkness.
Data are presented in minutes. The tmm1 mutant suppresses gas-exchange responses induced by dark treatment. Steady state gas-exchange triggered by light or darkness is shown. The steady-state rates of transpiration under the two light treatments from the tmm1 mutant were not substantially different from those of Arabidopsis plants with single stomata, despite the higher stomatal numbers. However, the tmm1 plants exhibited higher steady-state rates of transpiration in the dark than the plants with single stomata.
When the tmm1 plants were transferred to dark from the low-light regime, the transpiration rate in the dark was 1. Stomata of wild-type and PTMM1 plants closed to similar extents, whereas stomata of the tmm1 mutant were impaired in this process Fig. The tmm1 mutant showed a significantly smaller dynamic range of apertures in comparison with wild-type plants following a closing stimulus.
The closing process was attenuated significantly in the tmm1 mutants, which exhibited 2. The tmm1 mutant is defective in stomatal closing. Relative stomatal closing was measured on a cell-by-cell basis.
We were interested, therefore, in examining whether ion transport at the guard cell plasma membrane was affected by stomatal clustering. Figure 4 presents the current traces and average steady-state currents as a function of voltage current-voltage curves from guard cells of the Arabidopsis lines.
In each case, the currents yielded gating characteristics similar to previous reports Garcia-Mata et al. Currents are cross-referenced to the current-voltage curves by symbol. Jointly fitted curves minimize the number of free parameters and allow comparisons between fitting with common parameter values Honsbein et al.
This analysis uncovered no substantial difference in transcript levels, suggesting that the alterations in ion transport were not due to altered population sizes or their distributions Supplemental Fig. P values for significant differences are shown for each value. The point at which no current relaxation was observed defines the reversal voltage.
As shown in Figure 5B , the reversal potential was displaced toward more positive values by about 50 mV in the tmm1 mutant compared with the wild type. A, Currents through I KOUT recorded under voltage clamp from wild-type white circles and tmm1 black circles guard cells.
Only recently has attention turned to questions of the spacing of stomata on the leaf surface and its implications for environmental physiology and adaptation. The stomata of most plants occur singly, one over each substomatal cavity within the leaf mesophyll layer, and are separated by at least one pavement cell within the leaf epidermis. However, in a few plant species, stomata are found to cluster naturally in groups of two or more over a substomatal cavity and may be separated by a narrow wedge only of a pavement cell.
Mutants, too, are known in which stomata develop in clusters, often without a separating pavement cell. To date, a single study has shown that Arabidopsis mutants with a high degree of clustering show reductions in gas exchange and are impaired in their capacity for carbon assimilation Dow et al. However, until now, no information has been forthcoming on the mechanisms underlying these differences.
We examined the physiology of Arabidopsis and its tmm1 mutant, which develops clusters without intervening pavement cells Yang and Sack, ; Geisler et al.
These studies compared the gas-exchange characteristics as well as the dynamics of stomatal movements. Like Dow et al. Most interestingly, the differences in stomatal behavior cannot be understood on the basis of channel transcript levels Supplemental Fig.
In addition, the isolation of epidermal peels results in the complete destruction of epidermal cells. It is well documented that stomatal density across dicotyledonous species is balanced against stomatal size and that reducing stomatal size is an important strategy to facilitate stomatal dynamics without increasing the evaporative area of the leaf Drake et al.
Reducing the size of the guard cells surrounding the stomatal pore has the effect of increasing the ratio of membrane surface area to guard cell volume. Provided that the density of membrane transporters per unit of surface area is nearly constant, a decrease in guard cell size can be expected to accelerate the solute flux per unit of volume proportionally, thereby allowing for faster responses to environmental transients.
In general, such analysis assumes the physical and spatial independence of each stoma and its positioning over a substomatal cavity.
