We study regulation of stomatal development and we are interested how environmental fluctuations modify this process at the molecular level. When stomatal lineage behavior is modified this alters not ...

Throughout evolution, plants have continuously adapted to survive in changing environments. Apart from complex structural changes, plants have also developed various defense strategies against ...

In a study published in PNAS on July 8, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have provided mechanistic insights into how ...

Plant stomata are pores in the epidermis of plant leaves. They play a key role in regulating the gas-water exchange between the plant and the atmosphere, which enables photosynthesis and transpiration ...

Cellulose acetate replicas were made from silicone rubber impressions of the abaxial surfaces of perennial ryegrass leaves. Apertures between 1 μ and 4 μ (mean 2 μ) were measured in replicas from ...

Aquatic plants are specialized evolutionary groups adapted to life in water. They play critical roles as food and medicinal supplies (e.g., lotus root and foxnut) and industrial raw materials (e.g., ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen ...

Tim Brodribb receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Plant behaviour may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, who ...
