Plants have stomata, mouth-like pores on their surface, to adjust to environmental changes such as temperature and humidity to ensure optimum physiology and metabolism. A new study adds a key player, SERK, to the signal-sensing apparatus to inform where stomata are to be formed on the leaf.
植物在其表面有类似嘴巴的气孔,用于适应温度和湿度等环境变化,以确保最佳的生理和新陈代谢。一项新研究在信号感知机制中加入了一个关键因素——体细胞胚胎发生受体激酶(SERK),以确定叶片上气孔的形成位置。
