A new leaf imaging system lets scientists watch plant stomata control water loss and carbon uptake in real time.
Daniel Urban & Corinne Campbell shows ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how to collect a simple stomata imprint from plants and view it under a microscope. This video shows how to collect a simple ...
When clouds roll over a field or a greenhouse lamp dims, plant leaves have to choose fast. Keep pores open to grab carbon dioxide, or close them to save water. A new study has watched that choice ...
The breakthrough could help unlock crops that grow smarter, stronger, and more drought-resistant. For centuries, scientists have known that plants 'breathe' through tiny leaf pores called stomata, ...
A microscope image shows the surface of a Kapur Paya fossil leaf. Tiny pores called stomata and the outer skin cells of the leaf are visible, which helps scientists compare it to living trees. Credit ...
Details of the process in which plants transfer gases through the pores on their leaves called stomata remain hard to study. The anatomy of stomata can be seen through optical microscopy, but ...
