We want to create a record of how the atmosphere has changed through time by calculating the percentages of two different types of leaf cell (stomatal and epidermal) for many leaves, from the present ...

Scientists have developed copper "nano-flowers" that mimic photosynthesis, offering a new way to transform carbon dioxide ...

Confocal overview of a TaEPF1 OE wheat leaf showing epidermal layer (purple), subtending mesophyll cells (green), a stomate (St) consisting of guard cells and associated subsidiary cells and ...

The waxy cuticle surface on the outside protects the leaf and prevents excess water loss. The palisade cells at the upper side are packed with chloroplasts to maximise photosynthesis. On the lower ...

This food-making process takes place in the leaf in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green color. This extraordinary chemical absorbs from sunlight the energy that is ...

Plants encounter a wide range of pathogens, like bacteria that sneak in through leaf surface pores or fungi that directly invade plant “skin” cells. Since plant cells are stationary ...
