A new leaf imaging system lets scientists watch plant stomata control water loss and carbon uptake in real time.

Scientists have created a new tool to watch plants breathe in real time. The new tech could help identify the genetic traits that make crops more resilient to global climate change, the researchers ...

Researchers at the University’s Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology have developed a new way of observing plant ...

Stomata, the holes on the surface of a plant’s leaves, are essential for controlling the exchange of gases between the plant and the atmosphere. Stomata with the right characteristics can increase a ...

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 ...

Plant leaves are protected from drying out by an airtight wax layer. They breathe and release water through microscopic pores called stomata. Every year 40% of atmospheric CO 2 and twice the volume of ...

Plants breathe through stomata Plant leaves are protected from drying out by an airtight wax layer. They breathe and release water through microscopic pores called stomata. Every year 40% of ...
