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 ...

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and machine-learning image analysis, to simultaneously observe anatomical ...

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

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 organelles ...

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 ...

An increasing number of researchers are keen to study plant stomata and figure out ways to manipulate them and develop hardier crops.

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 ...

New research in plants shows that a gene called MUTE is required for the formation of stomata -- the tiny pores that a critical for gas exchange, including releasing the oxygen gas that we breathe.
