Plants control their water consumption via adjustable pores (stomata), which are formed from pairs of guard cells.

Paleobotanist Dana Royer says there is evidence the planet will heal but it takes millions of years to recover. And each ...

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 ...

Jennifer Doudna, the co-developer of CRISPR, says there’s a “coming revolution” in climate-adapted crops and animals.

Stomata are crucial for water regulation. As the environment grows increasingly unpredictable, managing water consumption for crops during droughts through chemical methods will become ...

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 ...

They discovered that plants grown under manufactured microgravity were more prone to infections from Salmonella. This is because the Stomata, the tiny pores in leaves and stems that plants use to ...

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.

Plants adapt their water consumption to environmental conditions by counting and calculating environmental stimuli with their guard cells. Plants control their water consumption via adjustable ...

Plants communicate through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that help them respond to herbivorous pest attacks. This review ...

For this installment of Nathalie Graham's column, Play Date, she searches for the mythological Screaming Well with the ...
