Aims Stornata can close to avoid cavitation under decreased soil water availability. This closure can be triggered by hydraulic ('H') and/or chemical signals ('C', 'H + C') By combining plant ...

Solutes distribute differentially between leaf tissues and cells. The present study tested the hypothesis that certain solutes are supplied preferentially to the epidermis in the transpiration stream, ...

Everyone knows that trees combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide out of the air. Now, plant leaves are tackling global warming in another way — by serving as models for a technology that ...

A new study shows that machine-learning models can accurately predict daily crop transpiration using direct plant ...

Particulate matter deposits on leaves increase plant transpiration and the risk of plants suffering from drought. Particulate matter could thus be contributing more strongly to tree mortality and ...

As corn and other crops grow, they give off moisture through their leaves. This process is called evapotranspiration. The process can raise humidity levels and therefore the heat index. ILLINOIS (WGN) ...

TWO paper by Sir Francis Darwin (Proceedings of the Royal Society, B, vol. Ixxxvii.) mark an important advance in the study of the process of transpiration in plants. Hitherto, although transpiration ...

A research team has developed a low-cost, high-throughput phenotyping platform that continuously measures plant transpiration ...
