Plant behavior may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, ...

Plants shape Earth’s atmosphere by moving carbon and water vapour. New research sheds light on how they learned to do it – ...

The trees exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with the atmosphere through little “mouths” in their leaves and tiny “windows” ...

To avoid this, an individual plant may open its stomata and evaporate water which will lower the leaf temperature. Thus, one may hypothesize that leaves in the sun should have higher stomata density ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

A multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the Yale School of the Environment developed a new laser-based method for observing how plants adjust the pressure within their cells in response to the ...

An international research team led by researchers at VIB-UGent has unraveled how the opening and closing of stomata—tiny pores on leaves—is regulated in response to high temperatures and drought.

Plant stomata, which consist of paired guard cells placed on the surface of leaves, control gas exchange with the atmosphere. Anion transport by unidentified guard-cell channels closes the ...

How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled ...

the radius is 0.20 mm. Area = πr 2 = 3.14 × 0.20 × 0.20 = 0.13 mm 2 The number of stomata in the field of view is 12.

In this lab, stomata density variation likely results from interacting environmental factors (e.g. CO 2, temperature, water, etc.); therefore, higher stomata density might be consistent with a student ...
