Plant stomata pressure dynamics illuminated by laser-based method offer water efficiency insights

Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

A Yale team has developed a new way to measure pressure changes that force plants to open and close their microscopic pores.

The new approach vastly expands the rate at which scientists can take measurements on plants.

Quantifying those changes will help scientists understand how quickly stomata can open, which ultimately determines the balance between how much carbon a plant absorbs and how much water it loses while its pores are open.

The study is the first published application of the new approach in stomatoms in Bryophytes .
