For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

Annals of Botany, New Series, Vol. 36, No. 145 (March 1972), pp. 335-344 (11 pages) The structure and ontogeny of stomata have been studied in 33 species of the Labiatae. The mature stomata are ...

Fred Sack, D. J. Paolillo, Jr. The development and structure of the guard cell walls of Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. (Musci) were studied with the light and electron microscopes. The stoma consists of ...

Plants constantly make trade-offs in their decisions: more light means more opportunity for photosynthesis, but then hot temperatures and dry air makes wilting more likely. Stomata - microscopic ...

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and machine-learning image analysis, to simultaneously observe anatomical ...

Plants know how to do a neat trick. Through photosynthesis, they use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food, belching out the oxygen that we breathe as a byproduct. This evolutionary innovation is ...

An increasing number of researchers are keen to study plant stomata and figure out ways to manipulate them and develop hardier crops.

In an 1/2 page appropriately formatted essay, the author provided a clear, concise, and insightful answer that is substantiated by details of both content and context. If appropriate, additional ...
