Scientists say their Stomata In-Sight tool can observe plants "breathe," which could be used to bioengineer crops that ...

URBANA, Ill. — For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These tiny valves are the gatekeepers that balance the intake of ...

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

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 ...
