GABA signalling modulates stomatal opening to enhance plant water use efficiency and drought resilience

GABA accumulates during stress in plants but how, where and when GABA acts is not clear. Here the authors show that GABA production in Arabidopsis guard cells reduces stomatal opening and transpirational water loss, thereby improving water use efficiency.
