Three major distinct metabolic pathways that can supply osmotically active solutes to guard cells have been clearly characterized,

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. The uptake of K+ and Cl– from the apoplast, coupled to the biosynthesis of malate2– within the guard cells

  2. The production of sucrose in the guard cell cytoplasm from precursors originating from starch hydrolysis in the guard cell chloroplast

  3. The changes in osmotic potential required for stomatal opening in the morning are mediated by sucrose, whereas the afternoon changes are mediated by potassium and its counterions

  4. The production of sucrose from precursors made in the photosynthetic carbon fixation pathway at the guard cell chloroplast

Nitrate reductase is an important enzyme for nitrate assimilation. Given below some regulation of nitrate reductase activity through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.

a) Light, and other environmental factors stimulate a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates a key serine residue in the hinge 1 region of nitrate reductase and thereby activates the enzyme

b) In Dark, and Mg2+ stimulate a protein kinase that phosphorylates the same serine residues, which then interact with a 14-3-3 inhibitor protein, and thereby inactivate nitrate reductase

c) In Light, and Mg2+ stimulate a protein kinase that phosphorylates the serine residues, and thereby activate nitrate reductase

d) In Dark, and other environmental factors stimulate a protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates a key serine residue in the hinge 1 region of nitrate reductase and thereby inactivates the enzyme
