Today
• Review photosynthesis and bulk transport in plants
• Observing leaf morphology
• Examples of highly modified leaves
• Leaf anatomy
• Stomata, adaptations to terrestrial environments
• Stomata aperture changes
• Further understanding of stomata by experimentation
The main ideas from last week’s
look at the anatomy of the
angiosperm plant body
Photosynthesis
primarily occurs
in chloroplasts of
leaves

make them well-adapted for their
function?

Morphological Adaptations
Responses to Water Availability
Waterlily (Nymphaea)
Note the misnomer, waterlilies are not in the
Liliaceae family
Note the abundant of air spaces.
This plant grows in water.

Morphological Adaptations
Responses to Water Availability
Note large
volume-tosurface area
ratio ideal for dry
environment
Spines
(modified
leaves) protect
the water-filled
plant body
from predation
Ferocactus
Example of turgor control of quick
responses in highly specialized leaves

Morphological Adaptations
Responses to Water Availability
Banksia
Note sunken stomata.
. . . Sunken stomata

the moist leaf interior to
the bulk atmosphere. Flux

Gas Exchange
Open & Closed Stomata

Gas Exchange (g)
Ion Transport—stomatal opening
Proton extrusion makes
membrane potential more
negative and acidifies
apoplast.
Potassium uptake.
Water influx
Thermodynamics: MP
Mechanism: MP &
wall acidification
activate the Kin channel

CELL WALL
MEMBRANE
Stomatal swelling
A. Guard-cell symplast
accumulate solutes from
guard-cell apoplast.
B. Water flows into guard
cells osmotically.
C. Radial micellation of
cellulose microfibrils
prevents increase of cell
diameter.
D. Inner wall is strong
and cannot be stretched.
Modified from Outlaw lecture
E. Water influx increases
pressure, but water is
incompressible, so guard-cell
volume increases. The increase
results from stretching of the
dorsal wall.
Gas Exchange (j)
Ion Transport—stomatal closing
A. Anion efflux shifts
the membrane potential
to a less negative
position.
B. Potassium efflux.
Thermodynamics: MP
Inside
cell
Mechanism: MP
activates the Kout
channel

Membrane
Gas Exchange
ion transport—ABA action
ABA may be made in roots and
transported to shoots, or made
by leaves, or even by guard
cells.
ABA activates the anion
channel, directly or by several
means indirectly (e.g., via Ca2+
signaling).
Inside
cell
ABA activates the Kout
channel via cytosolic
alkalinization.

What internal and external factors
likely affect stomatal aperture?
What are the effects of CO2 on stomatal aperture?
Why do we want to know? How is this important?
About 1700 gallons of water are required to grow food for one
adult in the US per day!
(From 1993 National Geographic)
Experimental Design
The question:
What are the effects of CO2 on stomatal aperture?
How can we manipulate CO2 concentration?
One way:
CO2 + NaOH => NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate)
