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

Plants—they have mouths, just like us. Unlike us, however, these plant mouths might actually help us feed the growing population in the face of climate change. A new study from the University of ...

Scientists have identified a key element underlying the superior function of stomata -- or tiny, gas-exchanging pores -- in grasses, where stomata function more efficiently than they do in other plant ...

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 ...

A recent report in Cell has revealed that rather than being passive ports of entry, stomata have an active role in the innate immune response of plants to bacterial challenge, and that bacteria have ...

We are increasingly confronted with the impacts of climate change, with failed harvests being only one example. Addressing these challenges requires multifaceted approaches, including making plants ...
