Response of Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism and Secondary Metabolites to Drought Stress and Salt Stress in Plants (2019, background): “…plant Stress Plant Response of plants to stress Influence path Reference Drought stress Triticale and Wheat Decreased leaf extension Leaf morphology Lonbani and Arzani (2011) Cucumber Increased the thickness of grana and the length of the palisade cells Decreased photosynthesis by stomatal closure…”
Polyploidy, the Nucleotype, and Novelty: The Impact of Genome Doubling on the Biology of the Cell (2019, background): “Large stomata are generally less efficient than small ones (Lawson and Blatt 2014), and studies ofArabidopsismutants of stomatal distribution support the physiological importance of stomatal spac- ing (Dow et al. 2014).”
The scaling of genome size and cell size limits maximum rates of photosynthesis with implications for ecological strategies (2019, background): “…processes (e.g. photosynthetic assimilation rate and stomatal conductance) can reduce water use efficiency when stomata are closing and reduce photosynthetic efficiency when stomata are opening (Lawson and Vialet-Chabrand 2019), limiting total photosynthesis by up to 20% (Lawson and Blatt 2014).”
