Barley Genotypes Vary in Stomatal Responsiveness to Light and CO2 Conditions
Changes in stomatal conductance and density allow plants to acclimate to changing environmental conditions. In the present paper, the influence of atmospheric CO2 concentration and light intensity on stomata were investigated for two barley genotypes ...

Analysis on the relationships between dust retention amount and leaf stomata traits of five evergreen plants [PDF]
Air pollution in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has caused widespread concern. In winter, the combustion of fossil fuel produces a very high proportion of fine particulate matter in the air. However, the vegetation coverage is relatively low.

Increasing water-use efficiency directly through genetic manipulation of stomatal density [PDF]
Improvement in crop water-use efficiency (WUE) is a critical priority for regions facing increased drought or diminished groundwater resources. Despite new tools for the manipulation of stomatal development, the engineering of plants with high WUE ...

Evolutionary association of stomatal traits with leaf vein density in Paphiopedilum, Orchidaceae. [PDF]
Both leaf attributes and stomatal traits are linked to water economy in land plants. However, it is unclear whether these two components are associated evolutionarily.In characterizing the possible effect of phylogeny on leaf attributes and stomatal ...

Foliar and wood traits covary along a vertical gradient within the crown of long-lived light-demanding species of the Congo Basin semi-deciduous forest [PDF]
Plant functional traits have shown to be relevant predictors of forest functional responses to climate change. However, the trait-based approach to study plant performances and ecological strategies has mostly been focused on trait comparisons at the ...

Measuring Stomatal Density in Rice
The number of stomata on leaves is known to be affected by various environmental factors and intrinsic developmental program. Stomatal density and stomatal index are generally used as indicators of the leaf development and the plant growth.

Evolution of leaf-form in land plants linked to atmospheric CO2 decline in the Late Palaeozoic era [PDF]
The widespread appearance of megaphyll leaves, with their branched veins and planate form, did not occur until the close of the Devonian period at about 360 Myr ago.

Ferns are less dependent on passive dilution by cell expansion to coordinate leaf vein and stomatal spacing than angiosperms. [PDF]
Producing leaves with closely spaced veins is a key innovation linked to high rates of photosynthesis in angiosperms. A close geometric link between veins and stomata in angiosperms ensures that investment in enhanced venous water transport provides the ...

Stomatal abundance and distribution in Prosopis strombulifera plants growing under different Iso-Osmotic salt [PDF]
Changes in several environmental parameters are thought to affect stomatal development. Under salt stress, plants can regulate their transpiration flux through a better control of the stomatal opening (as a short-term response) and through modifications ...
