Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation FOCL1 is a guard cell expressed secreted protein homologous to cell wall proteins.
- Observation FOCL1-GFP localized to the guard cell outer cuticular ledge.
- Observation Plants lacking FOCL1 produced stomata without a cuticular ledge.
- Observation Most stomatal pores of FOCL1-deficient plants were covered by fused cuticle.
- Observation FOCL1-deficient plants had reduced transpiration.
- Observation FOCL1-deficient plants displayed drought tolerance.
- Observation focl1 guard cells were larger.
- Observation focl1 guard cells were less able to narrow stomatal apertures after closure signals.
- Mechanism FOCL1 aided lateral root emergence.
