Abstract
Stomatal pores facilitate gaseous exchange between the inner air spaces of the leaf and the atmosphere. As gatekeepers that balance CO2 entry for photosynthesis against transpirational water loss, they are a focal point for efforts to improve crop performance, especially in the efficiency of water use, within the changing global environment. Until recently, engineering strategies had focused on stomatal conductance in the steady state. These strategies are limited by the physical constraints of CO2 and water exchange such that gains in water-use efficiency (WUE) commonly come at a cost in carbon assimilation. Attention to stomatal speed and responsiveness circumvents these constraints and offers alternatives to enhancing WUE that also promise increases in carbon assimilation in the field.
