Spanish term or phrase: Células de guarda
Estoy preparando una interpretación para una conferencia sobre arándanos.

En una de las presentaciones aparece el término "células del guarda" al hablar del potasio en los arándanos, diciendo que una de las características del potasio es "la regulación osmótica a través de las células de guarda".

Gracias por vuestra ayuda.
