We combined time-lapsing imaging of leaf tissue in the cuvette of a gas analyzer to provide a dynamic measurement of leaf water potential (\u03a8l) while simultaneously recording leaf gas exchange to test these questions. Using this method in a representative lycophyte, Selaginella moellendorfii, we show that stomata respond passively to changes in \u03a8l by closing as soon as \u03a8l declines and opening rapidly on rehydration, confirming a close hydraulic connection between guard cells and the leaf in lycophytes. In contrast, in a representative angiosperm, Solanum americanum, wrong-way stomatal responses occurred when leaves experienced rapid changes in \u03a8l. In this species, wrong-way responses no longer occurred once \u03a8l had declined to turgor loss point, at which point stomata will rapidly reopen on rehydration without a wrong-way response. These observations confirm a close hydraulic connection between the guard cell cytosol and leaf apoplast across vascular land plants and rule out a hypothesis that there is a rapid and transient rehydration of leaf tissue from embolized xylem on leaf excision, as an explanation for wrong-way stomatal opening. The ability to simultaneously record leaf gas exchange and \u03a8l provides a powerful tool for resolving outstanding questions related to the hydraulic regulation of stomatal aperture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/plphys\/kiag660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T11:35:12Z","timestamp":1788521712000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Combining
