Stomata are critical to plant biology and scientists have found a key to how they get there. Scientists studying plants have uncovered a key part of the process that forms one of the most important ...

Just as humans cannot breathe underwater, the tiny pores of plants can't exchange air underwater. Even worse, having pores under water promotes the entry of water, microbes and other undesirable ...

Plant stomata are pores in the epidermis of plant leaves. They play a key role in regulating the gas-water exchange between the plant and the atmosphere, which enables photosynthesis and transpiration ...

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 ...

The device reveals how microscopic pores on leaves, known as stomata, manage the exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour.

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 ...

How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles ...
