Blue light and CO2 signals converge to regulate light-induced stomatal opening

Blue light and CO2 signals converge to regulate light-induced stomatal opening

Stomata open in response to low CO2 conditions in the light to maximise photosynthesis. Here, Hiyama et al. identify two kinases that promote stomatal opening by inhibiting S-type anion channels downstream of phototropin and HT1 thereby acting as a convergence point for blue light and CO2 signaling.
