ABA-induced stomatal closing of individually tracked stomatal apertures. (A) Average individually tracked stomatal apertures in the presence of 50 µm Ca²⁺ (open triangles) and in the presence of 200 nm free Ca²⁺ (open squares) in the bath solution from three experiments are shown and were normalized to the stomatal apertures at time = 0. (B, C) ABA-induced stomatal closing in the presence of 50 µm Ca²⁺ in five individually tracked stomatal apertures. In (A; open triangles) normalized stomatal apertures of the same stomata depicted in (B) and (C) are shown. Methods used in these experiments tracking individual stomatal apertures are described in Siegel et al. (2009). ABA-induced stomatal closing experiments are reproduced from Siegel et al.
