The effects of light and darkness on stomatal aperture and guard cell apoplastic pH in the intact leaf and in the isolated epidermal strips of Commelina communis have been investigated. Stomata in the intact leaf opened wide in the light. In contrast, stomata in the isolated epidermal strips did not respond clearly to light. To eucidate the relationship between the stomatal aperture and the guard cell apoplastic pH, apoplastic pH was measured. In the light the guard cell wall of intact leaf was acidified by pH 1.9 units, falling from pH 7.3 to pH 5.4 in the first 10 minutes. On the contrary, apoplastic pH of isolated epidermal strips changed slowly from pH 7.3 to pH 6.9 at 20 min. Stomata in the intact leaf closed rapidly in the dark. On the other hand, stomata in the isolated epidermal strips failed to close in dark. There was a slow increase in apoplastic pH on transfer to the dark after incubation for 1.5 h in the light and the level observed before the experiment was regained after around 40 min. When the isolated epidermal strips were transferred to the dark, apoplastic pH maintained a uniform level of around pH 7.2-7.4. These results indicate that the mechanism of stomatal opening and closing from isolated epidermal strips and intact leaves could be different.

The effects of light and $CO_2$ on the electrophysiological characteristics of guard cells in the intact leaf and isolated epidermis have been investigated. Fast hyperpolarization of guard cell apoplastic PD in the intact leaf was recorded reaching up to around 7 mV and 20 mV in response to light and $CO_2$. Whenever the experiments were attempted with isolated epidermis, there was no response to light and $CO_2$. In order to determine the influence of the mesophyll cells, the apoplastic PD of guard cells in isolated epidermis was measured in the presence of the mesophyll supernatant or the control medium. The apoplastic PD in isolated epidermis was hyperpolarized to -7mV, changing from -22mV to -29mV at 40 min. But, when isolated epidermis was incubated with the supernatant from mesophyll cells incubated in the light, the apoplastic PD in isolated epidermis was hyperpolarized to -19 mV, changing from -22 mV to -40.5 mV. $CO_2$ also caused a change of 0.1 to 0.3 pH unit in the intact leaf. However, this change was absent in isolated epidermis. A vibrating probe was used to detect the change in electrical currents at the surface of excised intact leaves and isolated epidermis. The reading of excised intact leaves in the dark was $0.5\muA\;cm^{-2},$ remaining steady until illuminated. Light increased the current on the surface of excised leaves to about $0.8\muA\;cm^{-2},$. However, light had no effect in the current on the surface of isolated epidermis. Apoplastic pH changes across the stomatal complex in response to light and dark were measured both in the intact leaves and isolated epidermis over the same time period using pH micro-electrodes. The guard cell wall of intact leaf was acidified to 2.5 pH unit, falling from pH 7.5 to pH 5.0 in the first 10 min. in the light. At the same time the guard cell wall pH of isolated epidermis fell from pH 7.5 to pH 7.0 at 10 min. The guard cell wall pH of isolated epidermis incubated in the mesophyll supernatant fell from pH 7.6 to pH 6.7 at 10 min. Likewise, It could be imagined that an electrical signal, chemicals and hormones propagated from the mesophyll in response to light and $CO_2$ could control a fast stomatal response.

전신획득저항성(SAR)은 식물이 병원체 감염 이후 식물의 비감염 조직에서도 2차 감염에 대한 방어태세를 유지할 수 있는 광범위한 식물면역시스템이다. 지금까지 많은 연구를 통해 병원체 감염시 발생하는 SAR 유도인자 또는 모바일 신호들을 발견하였음에도 불구하고 SAR 초기 모바일 신호들은 명확하지 않다. 또한 SAR유도인자로 알려진 것들도 현재까지 수송경로가 명확하지 않다. 최근 연구에 따르면 SAR 모바일신호로 알려진 Azelaic acid (AzA)와 Glycerol-3-Phosphate (G3P)는 식물의 심플라스트 경로를 통해 원형질연락사를 통해 운송되는데 반하여Salicylic acid (SA)는 아포플라스트 경로를 통해 운송되는 것으로 여겨진다. 세포질 안에서 생성된 SA는 탈수소화는 원형질막의 양성자 구동력을 만들며 SA가 세포질에서 아포플라스트로 이동을 돕는 것으로 보인다. 뿐만 아니라 식물의 큐티클은 증산작용을 조절하여SA의 수송에 관여하는 것으로 여겨진다. 이러한 근거는 큐티클층이 결핍된 돌연변이 식물에서 SA의 축적이 비정상적으로 큐티클층에 존재하는 것을 통해 확인하였다. 이 논문에서는SAR에 관여하는 여러 신호인자들의 역할과 이들의 수송방법에 대해 논의한다.
