Engineering Stomatal Dynamics: Cell Wall Architecture, Remodelling and Deformation

How do plants control their stomata, the microscopic pores that determine how much CO₂ they take up and how much water they lose? Stomata open and close rapidly, requiring guard cells to undergo dramatic changes in shape and volume and the cell wall surrounding these cells must simultaneously be strong enough to constrain their shape and sufficiently dynamic to allow movement.
