A group of mostly desert plants called "C.A.M." plants (crassulacean acid metabolism, after the family Crassulaceae, which includes the species in which the CAM process was first discovered) open their stomata at night (when water evaporates more slowly from leaves for a given degree of stomatal opening), use PEPcase to fix carbon dioxide and ...
English: Opening and Closing of Stomata 1-Epidermal cell 2-Guard cell 3-Stoma 4-K+ ions 5-Water 6-Vacuole a. Open stoma: stomata are the small pores in the epidermis of leaves. They are bordered by guard cells. The stomata open when the turgor pressure increases in the guard cells, causing the cells to buckle outward.
English: Opening and Closing of Stoma. As K+ levels increase in the guard cells, the water potential of the guard cells drops, and water enters the guard cells ...
Guard cells have cell walls of varying thickness(its inner region, adjacent to the stomatal pore is thicker and highly cutinized [7]) and differently oriented cellulose microfibers, causing them to bend outward when they are turgid, which in turn, causes stomata to open. Stomata close when there is an osmotic loss of water, occurring from the ...

Stomatal conductance is a function of the density, size and degree of opening of the stomata; with more open stomata allowing greater conductance, and consequently indicating that photosynthesis and transpiration rates are potentially higher. Therefore, stomatal opening and closing has a direct relationship to stomatal conductance.
English: C3 and C4 plants(1) stomata stay open all day and close at night. CAM plants(2) stomata open during the morning and close slightly at noon and then open again in the morning. CAM plants(2) stomata open during the morning and close slightly at noon and then open again in the morning.
The stomatal pores perforate the epidermis and are surrounded on each side by chloroplast-containing guard cells, and two to four subsidiary cells that lack chloroplasts, forming a specialized cell group known as the stomatal complex. The opening and closing of the stomatal aperture is controlled by the stomatal complex and regulates the ...
