Stomata, the small pores on the surfaces of leaves and stalks, regulate the flow of gases in and out of leaves and thus plants as a whole. They adapt to local and global changes on all timescales from ...

Researchers have unraveled the action mechanism of the main plant hormone that regulates the development of stomata. This breakthrough has important implications for environmental research and for the ...

For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These tiny valves are the gatekeepers that balance the intake of carbon dioxide ...

For the first time, scientists have captured real-time videos of plants 'breathing' by observing their leaf pores, called stomata, opening and closing. This groundbreaking footage reveals how these ...

New research on how microscopic leaf pores respond to sunlight reveals some of the first universal relationships between plants and climate. Understanding these relationships could vastly improve ...

Corinne Campbell & Daniel Urban teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander about how plants breathe. Plants breathe and exchange gases in a fascinating way! Instead of lungs, plants use tiny pores on ...

Guidelines for Stomata Research Proposal: At the end of class after the first lab period, you and your partner should submit your research proposal. This document should fit on one page and should ...

New research in plants shows that a gene called MUTE is required for the formation of stomata -- the tiny pores that a critical for gas exchange, including releasing the oxygen gas that we breathe.

correlation and causation: Many students do not understand the fundamental difference between correlation and causation. In this lab, stomata density variation likely results from interacting ...

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 ...
