Boyer’s team had found that water loss through the cuticle skewed calculations of CO2 concentrations inside sunflower leaves to be 15% too high when water was abundant and stomata were open. And when ...

Cuticle – A waxy protective coating on the leaf epidermis that prevents ... Guard cells – Specialized kidney-shaped cells that open and close the stomata. 2. of 2. Using Leaf Anatomy to ...

Boyer’s team had found that water loss through the cuticle skewed calculations of CO 2 concentrations inside sunflower leaves to be 15% too high when water was abundant and stomata were open (J ...

More information: Josef C. Garen et al, Temperature governs the relative contributions of cuticle and stomata to leaf minimum ...

Some trees have stomata on both the top and undersides of their leaves, but most leaves have stomata only on the underside of the leaf. Regular deciduous leaves have broadly distributed stomata.

When temperatures are high, the stomata open to cool down. In dry conditions, they close to prevent water loss. So, when ...

Because of these properties, the majority of plant gas exchange occurs through stomata. Consequently, composition of cuticle and fast guard cell signaling are thought to be the major factors limiting ...
