Why should symplasmic resistances be variable?
Because water molecules cross cell membranes through a Nobel prize winning molecule :AQUAPORINS

Does leaf light response is caused by the activation or by the traduction (synthesis) of proteins ?
The light response is reversed in less than 1 hour with CHX
The synthesis of at least one protein is required for the light responseThis protein has a relatively high turnover
Conclusions
Leaf hydraulic resistance is strongly light and temperature dependant
Variables leaf resistances are located in the symplasmic pathway
Proteins (aquaporins) are involved in these responses
The synthesis or the activation of these proteins seems finely regulated according to leaf microclimate
WHY ?
Understanding water relations in leaves…
Xylem resistance
Mesophyll cell walls
Mesophyll cell symplasm
Stomatal resistance
Leaf transpiration

Does variable symplasmic resistances buffer leaf water status and favor stomatal function ?
