The study found that stomata in moss sporophytes play an important role in CO2 assimilation and water exchange, which is crucial for understanding the evolution of key structures in land plants. Moss sporophytes exhibit higher photosynthetic autonomy, which may be the key reason for their numerous stomata.
Stomata exert control on fluxes of CO2 and water (H2O) in the majority of vascular plants and thus are pivotal for planetary fluxes of carbon and H2O. However, in mosses, the significance and possible function of the sporophytic stomata are not well understood, hindering understanding of the ancestral function and evolution of these key structures of land plants. Infrared gas analysis and (CO2)-C-13 labelling, with supporting data from gravimetry and optical and scanning electron microscopy, were used to measure CO2 assimilation and water exchange on young, green, +/- fully expanded capsules of 11 moss species with a range of stomatal numbers, distributions, and aperture sizes. Moss sporophytes are effectively homoiohydric. In line with their open fixed apertures, moss stomata, contrary to those in tracheophytes, do not respond to light and CO2 concentration. Whereas the sporophyte cuticle is highly impermeable to gases, stomata are the predominant sites of (CO2)-C-13 entry and H2O loss in moss sporophytes, and CO2 assimilation is closely linked to total stomatal surface areas. Higher photosynthetic autonomy of moss sporophytes, consequent on the presence of numerous stomata, may have been the key to our understanding of evolution of large, gametophyte-independent sporophytes at the onset of plant terrestrialization.
