Scientists have uncovered how the interplay between cell shape and mechanical stress influences the orientation of stomata ...

Open (left) and closed (right) stomata found on the surface of plants' leaves, stems and other organs. Through the stomata, plants exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, and lose more than 95 percent of ...

Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere, which they need, in ...
