What you do is sometimes determined by what your neighbours do. Scientists believe that this extends to stomatal behaviour. Stomata are pores placed at the plant surface that allow gas exchange with ...

New research on how microscopic leaf pores respond to sunlight reveals some of the first universal relationships between plants and climate. Understanding these relationships could vastly improve ...

Details of the process in which plants transfer gases through the pores on their leaves called stomata remain hard to study. The anatomy of stomata can be seen through optical microscopy, but ...
