correlation and causation: Many students do not understand the fundamental difference between correlation and causation. In this lab, stomata density variation likely results from interacting ...

Cornell researchers have discovered a previously unknown way plants regulate water that is so fundamental it may change plant biology textbooks—and open the door to breeding more drought-tolerant ...

But why, you might ask, might it be adaptive for a plant to control its rates of water loss and CO 2 uptake? One answer can be found in the sun. Generally, plant photosynthetic apparati are only ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers have discovered a previously unknown way plants regulate water that is so fundamental it may change plant biology textbooks – and open the door to ...

Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are studying how these structures form to understand plant growth. Subscribe to our ...
