Main research topics
Enid MacRobbie is interested in furthering the understanding of stomatal behaviour. Their closure is contolled by potassium loss from guard cells, resulting in a loss of turgor. When water is at a premium, such as during a drought, increased production of abscisic acid leads to a decrease of potassium in the guard cells and the cell vacuoles enableing plants to conserve water. Enid is particullarly interested in mechanisms that regulate ion fluxes and of the signalling processes of absisic acid in stomatal closure.
