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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
