Constitutive activation of a plasma membrane H+‐ATPase prevents abscisic acid‐mediated stomatal closure
Light activates proton (H+)‐ATPases in guard cells, to drive hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane to initiate stomatal opening, allowing diffusion of ambient CO2 to photosynthetic tissues. Light… Expand
