Plant behavior may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, ...

Every time the temperature drops, a cloud passes overhead, or the sun sets, a plant makes a choice: Keep its microscopic ...

Plants shape Earth’s atmosphere by moving carbon and water vapour. New research sheds light on how they learned to do it – ...

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 ...

The trees exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with the atmosphere through little “mouths” in their leaves and tiny “windows” ...

In this case, stomata density may increase or decrease in response to environmental variation in sunlight and water availability. Note that since you will not be measuring sunlight or water ...

Plants adjust cellular pressure to respond to environmental factors. The evolution of stomata played a major role in changing ...

In order to take in carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis, a plant loses water vapour to the atmosphere as the stomata ...
