New evidence shows plant leaves absorb airborne microplastics, a previously overlooked route for the particles to enter crops ...

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 ...

But why, you might ask, might it be adaptive for a plant to control its rates of water loss and CO 2 uptake? One answer can be found in the sun. Generally, plant photosynthetic apparati are only ...

The leaf is one of the most important organs of a plant. Leaves produce food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis. The leaves of different plants vary widely in size, shape and ...

When fluid pressure increases inside the stomata's guard cells, they swell up to open the ... So next time you look upon a leaf, consider the frantic pace of dynamic calculation and adjustment ...

Cavitation microbubble dissolution in a light-acclimated Senecio minimus guard cell. See accompanying static images in Fig. 1F, and a plot of microbubble radius vs. time in Fig. 1G.
