Abstract: Actin filaments have been observed in guard cells of many plant species, the organization of cortical actin filaments was dynamic. Many evidence were presented that actin filaments act as a signal mediator for stomatal movement. In this article, we review the labeling methods and organization of actin filaments in guard cells, we also describe their role and the possible mechanism in signal transduction of guard cell.
