Plants 'breathe' with millions of tiny mouths—lasers illuminate evolution of stomata behavior
Plant behavior may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, ...

Detailed Description of the Experiment
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 ...

Environmental Correlates of Leaf Stomata Density
In this three week lab, students use the technique of making clear nail polish impressions of leaf stomata to generate and test an hypothesis of their choice about how leaf stomata density might vary ...
