An astonishing new video shows plants “breathing” in real-time — and the footage could have huge implications for how farmers feed the world in the future. The close-up clip was captured by biologists ...

Stanford, CA -- Plants have tiny pores on their leaves called stomata -- Greek for mouths--through which they take in carbon dioxide from the air and from which water evaporates. New work from the lab ...

Gent researchers at VIB have unraveled the action mechanism of the main plant hormone that regulates the development of stomata. This breakthrough has important implications for environmental research ...

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 ...

Plants know how to do a neat trick. Through photosynthesis, they use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food, belching out the oxygen that we breathe as a byproduct. This evolutionary innovation is ...

It's no surprise then that these pores appear to be strictly regulated by plants. Stomata react extremely fast to internal plant signals and changes in the environment. When rain is scarce, for ...

Grasses have top-notch border control to conserve water in their leaves. Now, scientists have identified the genetic switch that makes them such masters at taking in carbon dioxide without losing ...

In this three week lab, students use the technique of making clear nail polish impressions of leaf stomata to generate and test an hypothesis of their choice about how leaf stomata density might vary ...

New research on how microscopic leaf pores respond to sunlight reveals some of the first universal relationships between plants and climate. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access ...
