Environmental factors closure

What is the optimal behavior of stomata over the course of a day WUE (Eq. 8.39) is maximized by minimal stomatal opening because transpiration is decreased more than photosynthesis by partial stomatal closure that is, changes proportionally more than does 7c02 as changes (Fig. 8-23 also Section 8.4E). However, minimal stomatal opening can lead to very little net CO2 uptake. Thus a more pertinent consideration might be the maximal amount of CO2 that can be taken up for a certain amount of water transpired. The amount of water lost depends on the plant condition and environmental factors and should be considered over the course of a whole day. 

Another related approach is to alter the levels of putative hormones by changing environmental factors. For example, water stress causes an increase in ABA in leaves, accompanied by closure of stomates [31] this provides an indication that ABA acts as a hormone controlling guard cell turgidity. 

The stability of finished pharmaceutical products depends, on the one hand, on environmental factors such as ambient temperature, humidity and light, and, on the other, on product-related factors, e.g., the chemical and physical properties of the active substance and of pharmaceutical excipients, the dosage form and its composition, the manufacturing process, the nature of the container-closure system and the properties of the packaging materials. 

Environmental stresses also affect the light-saturated rate of leaf photosynthesis. Many stress factors reduce photosynthesis through stomatal closure, first, and then gradually cause damages to photosynthetic machinery in mesophyll. Chronic damages to photosynthetic machinery are often observed in nature (17).
