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.

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 ...

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 ...

This process is what scientists have dubbed photosynthesis. Photosynthesis starts with roots, stomata, and chloroplasts, biological structures found exclusively in plants. Most of us are familiar ...

Biologists have uncovered a surprising connection between the way plants grow and how they defend themselves against ...

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.
