Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Guard-cell volume increase and shape change alone did not form a stomatal pore.
- Observation Lateral movement of the guard–epidermal wall boundary formed the pore.
- Observation Guard-cell intrusion changed epidermal-cell shape, displaced its volume out of plane and created room for pore formation.
