Conditional stomatal closure in a fern shares molecular features with flowering plant active stomatal responses

Stomata evolved as plants transitioned from water to land, enabling carbon dioxide uptake and water loss to be controlled. In flowering plants, the most recently divergent land plant lineage, stomatal pores actively close in response to drought. In this response, the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA)...
