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 ...

Because breathing is generally involuntary, we sometimes forget how complicated it is. But biologists are gaining new insight into the intricate process in plants, with big implications for how to ...

Scientists say their Stomata In-Sight tool can observe plants "breathe," which could be used to bioengineer crops that require less water, making them potentially more resilient to climate change.

Open (left) and closed (right) stomata found on the surface of plants' leaves, stems and other organs. Through the stomata, plants exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, and lose more than 95 percent of ...
