Are smaller stomata faster in reacting to environmental changes such as light, CO2, atmospheric humidity, temperature ? I have participated with our data in a group publication where we take a closer look at the "Speedy small stomata" paradigm.
Using data from over 80 plant species, we found only weak correlations between stomatal size and maximum stomatal closing or opening speeds as well as response times.
Instead, stomatal speed appears to be context-dependent, shaped by species-specific traits, stomatal type and broader anatomical and physiological features.
These findings support a trait-based approach to assessing stomatal kinetics, which has implications for understanding #EcosystemFunctioning under #ClimateChange and #CropBreeding for higher #WaterUseEfficiency and #photosynthesis.

The #GreenRevolution brought major improvements in #cropbreeding, irrigation & #fertilizer use, leading to a substantial rise in #foodsecurity & reduced rural #poverty. But the focus was primarily on #yields; the cultivation of other food crops decreased... (1/2) https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-024-01281-4

OK so the "Darkness into Light" episode of "Not Your Butter Chicken," which you can watch at this link, shows the #Lethbridge Research and Development Centre where I work.

In this show, it was nice to see Harwinder and Dr. Priti Maheshwari, who both work at the research centre. Dr. Maheshwari is a scientist and prolific organizer of vital multicultural events in Lethbridge.

New genetic mechanisms could provide the basis for breeding plants that can better tolerate #borondeficiency and avoid yield losses: http://go.tum.de/357006

#CropBreeding methods that select for “selfish” traits can reduce yield in high-density monoculture. @SamWuest1 &co use a simple method to identify #plant genotypes that express more #cooperative traits, based on growth in social environments #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3AYFMit
