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 ...

This breakthrough could guide the breeding of smarter crops, plants that know when to open or close their pores, using water ...

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

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

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

Plant leaves are protected from drying out by an airtight wax layer. They breathe and release water through microscopic pores called stomata. Every year 40% of atmospheric CO 2 and twice the volume of ...

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