In this three week lab, students use the technique of making clear nail polish impressions of leaf stomata to generate and test an hypothesis of their choice about how leaf stomata density might vary ...

Stomata are like windows on the surface of leaves: they close to prevent water vapour loss during transpiration, but open to allow CO 2 uptake for photosynthesis. The stomatal pore aperture ...

Its top surface is protected from water loss ... It moves by diffusion through small holes in the underside of the leaf called stomata. Guard cells control the size of the stomata so that the ...

How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are ... How then does the tonoplast increase its surface area so that the vacuole can quickly expand (Figure 2)?

Why might it be adaptive for stomata to occur mostly (if not entirely) on the undersides of leaves? What plants show the reverse pattern for which stomata are only on the upper leaf surface? Some ...

Bengal Nagpur Railway's coal mining impact on vegetation in Jharsuguda studied using satellite data, highlighting ...

Scientists from Nagoya University have discovered a novel regulatory mechanism that controls the opening of stomata in plants, which is crucial for harnessing solar energy through photosynthesis.
