Plant behavior may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, ...
Plants shape Earth’s atmosphere by moving carbon and water vapour. New research sheds light on how they learned to do it – ...
SLAC/SLAH-type anion channels in the guard cells are of central importance for the regulation of the stomata. This has been shown by the group of Professor Rainer Hedrich, biophysicist at Julius ...
Gas exchange between the plant and the atmosphere takes place through the stomata, which consist in two bean-shaped guard cells surrounding a pore. (a) Malate and Cl − efflux from the guard ...
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 ...
It does this through stomata. These are tiny holes in the leaf surface that can be opened and sealed shut using special 'guard' cells. If we can find out exactly how stomatal index relates to these ...
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 leaf does not lose too much water in hot, windy or ...
Each hole is a single stoma. Guard cells Controls the opening and closing of stomata. Midrib Provides strength throughout the leaf, keeping it upright and sturdy in the wind. Petiole Attaches the ...
When a plant senses light, a signal is sent to the guard cell to increase its ion content, which causes the cell to take in water and swell in size. In this state, the stoma is open so that it can ...
Stomata, microscopic pores on plant leaves, regulate gas exchange and water loss by opening or closing in response to environmental cues. Guard cells surrounding each stoma regulate this process ...
