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 ...

Researchers were able to capture a plant breathing in real-time using a new tool called "Stomata In-Sight." The tool allows scientists to observe the microscopic movements of the stomata on plants and ...

Plant behavior may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, who tirelessly feed the entire biosphere (including us), are full of ...

Scientists have discovered that certain plants can survive stressful, dry conditions by controlling water loss through their leaves without relying on their usual mechanism—tiny pores known as stomata ...

Compounds CL1 and CL2 increase the number of stomata on plants, although they inhibit plant growth (left). Compound ZA155 (right) increased the number of stomata, but also inhibited plant growth.

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 ...

Stomata are critical to plant biology and scientists have found a key to how they get there. Scientists studying plants have uncovered a key part of the process that forms one of the most important ...
