Table VII. Activators and inhibitors of the predominant plasma membrane transporters and ion channels in stomatal guard cells (data relate to V. faba or Arabidopsis unless noted otherwise).

Transporter/Channel Type Activators Inhibitors References
H+-ATPase Fusicoccin (K1/2 = 10 µm) [Ca2+]i (Ki = 300 nm) A
Blue light (20–100 µmol m−2 s−1 via photophosphorylation)
Auxin
Ca2+-ATPase [Ca2+]i (K1/2 = 0.5–1 µm) B
Calmodulin (approximate molar ratio)
IK,in [H+]o shifts v1/2 positive (+15–24 mV per pH unit) and enhances Gmax (pKa = 6.7; nh = 1) [Ca2+]i (Ki = 330 nm; nh = 3.8–4.1) shifts v1/2 negative and suppresses Gmax C
Increasing [H+]i enhances Gmax [Al3+] (Ki = 15 µm)
[Cs+] (Ki = 0.1 mm)

ABA
IAnion (R-type) [ABA]i (K1/2 = 2.6 µm) [H+]o slows kinetics without affecting steady-state ICl E
[ATP] (K1/2 = 0.4 mm)
[Ca2+]i enhances Gmax (500–700 nm, nh = 3–4)
[H+]i enhances Gmax (pKa = 6.9, nh = 1)
ABA (Ca2+ independent)
ICl (S-type) [ABA]cyt (K1/2 = 2.6 µm; Ca2+ dependent or independent) Insensitive for [H+]o E
[Ca2+]i enhances Gmax (K1/2 = 500–700 nm, nh = 3–4)
High [HCO3]i increases [Ca2+]i sensitivity
High [HCO3]i (Ca2+ independent)
ICa ROS (H2O2) [K+]i < < 1 mm F
ABA shifts voltage sensitivity for Ca2+ gating [Ca2+]i shifts v1/2 negative (−25–30 mV/[Ca2+]i decade)
[H+]i shifts v1/2 negative (possible −55 mV per pH unit)
