The work, published in the journal Plant Physiology, describes a new system called “Stomata In-Sight.” The technology ...

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

A new leaf imaging system lets scientists watch plant stomata control water loss and carbon uptake in real time.

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

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and ...

Every time the temperature drops, a cloud passes overhead, or the sun sets, a plant makes a choice: Keep its microscopic pores, called stomata, open to absorb carbon dioxide and continue ...

A new study has shown how engineering stomata could help to improve crop performance in future climate scenarios where CO2 levels are expected to be higher. A new study has shown how engineering ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new system that allows researchers to observe how ...
