Researchers at Nagoya University Institute of Transformative Biomolecules (WPI-ITbM) in Japan and their colleagues have ...

Paleobotanist Dana Royer says there is evidence the planet will heal but it takes millions of years to recover. And each ...

Scientists have identified a natural compound, (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate (HB), that can induce stomatal closure in plants, a ...

The basis of all life on Earth is photosynthesis. So, what happens if it is disrupted? Today, advanced measurement tools can ...

Photosynthesis forms the foundation of life on Earth, yet climate change increasingly threatens this essential process.

Several research groups have used CRISPR to disable a gene that influences the number of tiny pores in the plant’s leaves.

The pristine-turf mindset is changing these days, with some expert nature lovers recommending that you leave your lawn intentionally messy. Nature has devised its own perfect recycling system, they ...

To achieve this, the plant must allow CO 2 into the leaves, and allow oxygen and water (the waste products of photosynthesis) to escape. It does this through stomata. These are tiny holes in the leaf ...

Thus, regulation of stomatal development is essential for formation of a leaf suitable for prevailing environmental conditions and it also impacts plants resource allocation, CO2 uptake and water loss ...

Hold the leaf with the surface you want to examine ... Area = πr 2 = 3.14 × 0.20 × 0.20 = 0.13 mm 2 The number of stomata in the field of view is 12.

It’s also best to stay away from leaf-shining products and oils. These products can clog leaf pores called stomata and therefore limit gas exchange. You can also spray the dust off with a hose, ...

Rather than buying specialty tools and aids to keep your indoor plants happy, you can just use items from around your house.
