Microscopic leaf pores (stomata) are important for gas exchange but are also the major sites for water loss. When there is a ...

Stomata are vital for regulating water and carbon dioxide in plants, affecting photosynthesis. Traditional stomata analysis ...

Ferticell™ products are unique in raw materials and how they are produced. As explained in previous articles, we utilize a ...

Coconut oil shouldn't be used to deter pests on your indoor plants or as a way to condition or clean leaves. Instead, use ...

Early in her career, she discovered how plant cells signal to one another using specific receptors, and her research since ...

Climate change is scrambling the seasons , wreaking havoc on trees. Some temperate and high-altitude regions will grow more humid, which can lead to lethal rot. In other temperate zones, drier springs ...

In this lab, stomata density variation likely results from interacting environmental factors (e.g. CO 2, temperature, water, etc.); therefore, higher stomata density might be consistent with a student ...

It is possible to engineer increased mesophyll conductance in plants according to new research from the University of ...

Though Dyer says there’s no rule around how often you need to clean plant leaves, Hooper likes to do it once a week when she ...

Plants living in the shadows grew faster when exposed to excess carbon dioxide. But this short-term effect could vanish in a ...

Recent findings that plants employ a drought-survival mechanism to also defend against nutrient-sucking pests could inform future crop breeding programs aimed at achieving better broadscale pest ...

In this three week lab, students use the technique of making clear nail polish impressions of leaf stomata to generate and test an hypothesis of their choice about how leaf stomata density might vary ...
