Heat waves are among the world's deadliest weather hazards. Every year, vast numbers of people are killed by heat stress and ...

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 ...

By opening and closing its stomata, a plant can control how much carbon dioxide it consumes and how much of its water content it loses via transpiration. After being absorbed through the stomata ...

Trees and green spaces can drive down urban temperatures. But they must be able to draw water from the soil to achieve ...

and stomata conductance has less impact on transpiration. The physical environment of forests is determined by edaphic (soil) factors and micro-climate (precipitation, light, temperature ...

Because of these properties, the majority of plant gas exchange occurs through stomata. Consequently, composition of cuticle and fast guard cell signaling are thought to be the major factors limiting ...

Movement of water through the plant is called the transpiration stream. Water vapour moves out of the plant through pores called stomata.

and that water molecules then evaporate through the stomata in the leaves. This evaporation in turn allows further water to be absorbed by the roots. Alfred explains that this is transpiration.
