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

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

The E. coli rrn  promoters are also regulated by a pair of small molecules: the initiating NTP (the iNTP) and an alarmone,  guanosine 5 -diphosphate 3-diphosphate (ppGpp). 

1. An abundance of iNTP indicates that the concentration of  nucleotides is high, and therefore it is appropriate to synthesize plenty of rRNA. 

2. Accordingly, iNTP stabilizes the open promoter complex, stimulating transcription. 

3. On the other hand, when cells are starved for amino acids, protein synthesis cannot occur readily and the need for ribosomes (and rRNA) decreases.
