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.

A video, which has gone viral now, was posted to the subreddit r/Damnthatsinteresting, and it shows a plant's stomata up close. The stomata are tiny openings found on the bottom of leaves that ...

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 ...

Stomata, microscopic pores on plant leaves, regulate gas exchange and water loss by opening or closing in response to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Leaf water flow depending on water availability. When water is available and photosynthesis is active, stomata open for gas exchange, and total conductance (gtw) results from stomatal (gsw) and ...
