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 ...

The stomata are tiny openings found on the bottom of leaves that help the plant pull in carbon dioxide and oxygen. According to UniladTech, the video appears to be connected to a scientific paper ...

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 ...

On the lower half of the leaf are spongy mesophyll cells. These have air spaces between them to let gases flow. The stomata - tiny openings or pores – allow gases such as carbon dioxide and ...

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 ...

Heat waves are among the world's deadliest weather hazards. Every year, vast numbers of people are killed by heat stress and ...

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

To achieve this, the plant must allow CO 2 into the leaves, and allow oxygen and water (the waste products of photosynthesis) to escape. It does this through stomata. These are tiny holes in the leaf ...
