For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

This breakthrough could guide the breeding of smarter crops, plants that know when to open or close their pores, using water ...

UIUC's platform, christened Stomata In-Sight, combines laser scanning confocal microscopy, gas exchange instruments and machine-learning image analysis, to simultaneously observe anatomical ...

An increasing number of researchers are keen to study plant stomata and figure out ways to manipulate them and develop hardier crops.
