Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The stomatal index of the leaf is the ratio of the number of stomata to the total number of stomata and epidermal cells. Comparing with the stomatal density, the stomatal index is relatively constant in environmental conditions and the age of the leaf ...

Hormonal and environmental signals guiding stomatal development
BMC Biology, 2018 Stomata are pores on plant epidermis that facilitate gas exchange and water evaporation between plants and the environment. Given the central role of stomata in photosynthesis and water-use efficiency, two vital events for plant growth, stomatal ...

Intensity of Vascular Streak Dieback in Different Cocoa Clones and Various Agro-climatic Conditions [PDF]
, 2017 Vascular streak dieback (VSD) is one of the main diseases on cocoa. This disease can produce a heavy damage in susceptible plants. Agro-climatic condition influences the VSD disease severity level.

Effect of (Changes in) Air Humidity on Transpiration and (Adaptation of) Stomatal Closure of Tradescantia Leaves during Water Stress [PDF]
, 2009 This paper summarises our recent research on the physiological effects of prolonged high RH during growth on stomatal function and we discuss possibilities that arise from this work for reducing postharvest quality problems in cut flowers.

Sucrose-induced stomatal closure is conserved across evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 As plants evolved to function on land, they developed stomata for effective gas exchange, for photosynthesis and for controlling water loss. We have recently shown that sugars, as the end product of photosynthesis, close the stomata of various angiosperm

Conversion of Thermal Energy to Gas Flow Kinetic Energy in the Bionic Leaf Stomata
Agronomy, 2022 In the technical field, the potential energy of gas under pressure is converted into mechanical kinetic energy by means of special complex channels. Leaf stomata perform a similar function in plant leaves.

Foliar lead uptake by lettuce exposed to atmospheric fallouts [PDF]
, 2010 Metal uptake by plants occurs by soil−root transfer but also by direct transfer of contaminants from the atmosphere to the shoots. This second pathway may be particularly important in kitchen gardens near industrial plants.
