She shows that when hydrogen peroxide scavenging is compromised in mutants, stomatal opening is increased but can be rescued by H202 production derived from plastoquinol.

Chloroplast-derived hydrogen peroxide coordinates photosynthesis with stomatal opening
Stomatal pores on plant leaves control the entry point of carbon into the terrestrial biosphere and concomitant release of water vapour into the atmosphere. Stomatal aperture changes need to be coordi...
