Arabidopsis guard cell chloroplasts import cytosolic ATP for starch turnover and stomatal opening

Stomatal guard cells require ATP in order to fuel stomatal movements. Here the authors show that guard cell photosynthesis is limited, mitochondria are the main source of ATP and that guard cell chloroplasts import ATP via nucleotide transporters.
