Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of K+ (potassium) ions in the functioning of the guard cells.
Introduction:
The guard cells are the type of specialized cells found in the leaf epidermis, stems as well as other organs that take part in controlling the gaseous exchange. These cells are formed in pairs having a gap between them that forms the stomatal pore. Ion uptake into the guard cell causes the opening of the stomata.
