Abstract

Ultrasonic irradiation of Vicia faba L. epidermal strips for 2 min preferentially disrupts the epidermal cells but does not impair guard cell movements. Maximal opening induced by fusicoccin requires that K⁺ be provided to the guard cells from external sources. A mobile organic anion is not required.
