Researchers were able to capture a plant breathing in real-time using a new tool called "Stomata In-Sight." The tool allows scientists to observe the microscopic movements of the stomata on plants and ...

Nature is pretty freaking cool when you really sit down and think about it. Plants take carbon dioxide and breathe it in, eventually turning it into oxygen that they then release back into the ...

New research from Stanford’s Remote Sensing Ecohydrology group published earlier this week in Nature improved the accuracy of earth systems models that examine the impact of droughts on ecosystems ...

The breakthrough could help unlock crops that grow smarter, stronger, and more drought-resistant. For centuries, scientists have known that plants 'breathe' through tiny leaf pores called stomata, ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Wetland plants have a high tolerance against flooding due to the formation of 'lysigenous aerenchyma,' air channels that help transfer gases to the submerged roots. These channels also help the plant ...
