Quantifications on 3D guard cell objects

Volume (μm3) Surface area (μm2) Aperture (μm) Pore area (μm2)
Closed 3691.06 ± 478.40 1651.59 ± 126.48 5.97 ± 0.64 123.88 ± 20.35
Open 4603.76 ± 615.76 1899.29 ± 154.25 12.54 ± 0.56 262.14 ± 12.13
Δ (open-closed) 912.70 ± 238.17 247.70 ± 47.08 6.58 ± 0.65 138.27 ± 23.71
Factor (open/closed) 1.25 ± 0.06 1.15 ± 0.03 2.12 ± 0.22 2.17 ± 0.41

The values were obtained from quantifications on 3D reconstructions (volume and surface area, Fig. 2, e and g) and equatorial sections (aperture and pore area, Fig. 2, a and b) of 10 intact guard cells in their closed and open states.
