Expression of full-length COP1 in the cop1 mutant complements the constitutive stomatal opening phenotype. (A) Confocal images of stomata in the WT, cop1 mutant, transgenic plants expressing COP1 in the cop1 mutant background (COP1-ovx), and plants expressing GUS-COP1 in the WT background in the dark and under 20 μmol·m-2·s-1 blue light plus 50 μmol·m-2·s-1 red light. (B) Stomatal apertures of the WT, cop1 mutant, COP1-ovx, and GUS-COP1 plants under the same conditions in A. Stomata of the WT plants open significantly wider than those of the GUS-COP1 plants (*, P ≤ 0.05, Student's t test).
