Petal stomata of Hemerocallis citrina Baroni are sensitive to abscisic acid by Lei Gong, Lei Gong, Ye Hua, Ye Hua, Yun-Yun Su, Yun-Yun Su, Bo Zhang, Bo Zhang, Li-Ting Yao, Li-Ting Yao, Basmah M. Alharbi, Basmah M. Alharbi, Md. Mahadi Hasan

“…The study showed that stomata are primarily located in the lower epidermis of the petals, arranged in a strip near the central vein, and exhibit relatively low density; the guard cells contain a large number of chloroplasts. Exogenous ABA induced stomatal closure in the petal stomata, and the gas exchange assay indicated that stomatal conductance decreased when exogenous ABA was introduced into the transpiration stream. …”
