title: Plant Physiology: Redefining the Enigma of Metabolism in Stomatal Movement.
abstract: Stomata open at the leaf epidermis, driven by solute accumulation in the surrounding guard cells. Transmembrane ion transport has long been recognised to contribute to this process. A new study makes it clear that guard cells also metabolise starch to accelerate opening.
