Multi-level Modeling of Light-Induced Stomatal Opening Offers New Insights into Its Regulation by Drought
Figure 3
Simulation of stomatal opening level in response to a sequence of light conditions.
The arrows with corresponding colours and directions signify the imposition (upward) or removal (downward) of a specific light signal. The system is in darkness at time step 0; a red light signal is added at step 4; a blue light signal is turned on at step 15 and off at step 24. The blue light signal induces a sharp increase in the stomatal opening level. The stomatal opening level gradually returns to the red light-induced steady state level after the blue light pulse.
