We show that coronatine transcriptionally activates the ABA hydroxylase gene CYP707A1 to open stomata, promoting bacterial invasion. Interestingly, within Brassicaceae, Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata possess this gene regulation, while Capsella rubella and Eutreme salsugineum do not.

The absence of this gene regulation in C. rubella and E. salsugineum is associated with resistance against coronatine-mediated stomatal opening. We then asked what drive this diversification in Brassicaceae.

We found that this gene regulation is required for rapid stomatal opening in response to light to enhance gas exchange. We also show that variations in the CYP707A1 promoters account for the differential stomatal responses across Brassicaceae species.
