For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

Scientists have created a new way to watch plants breathe—live and in high definition—while tracking exactly how much carbon ...

The stomata is considered as the 'mouth' of a plant. An incredible video shows plants "breathing" in real-time. The close-up clip has been captured by biologists at the University of California San ...

In recent years, atmospheric pollution has caused extensive damage to agricultural crops and forests. Masaru Ohme-Takagi and collaborators have discovered that expressing chimeric repressors of the ...

Grasses have top-notch border control to conserve water in their leaves. Now, scientists have identified the genetic switch that makes them such masters at taking in carbon dioxide without losing ...

Plants constantly make trade-offs in their decisions: more light means more opportunity for photosynthesis, but then hot temperatures and dry air makes wilting more likely. Stomata - microscopic ...

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 ...
