Summary
| Description |
English: Taken from a set of microscopy images while studying the role of stomata and leaf hair size and density and their role in water use efficiency and drought resistance in Brachypodium distachyon. The stomata are usually described as looking like hot dogs with the stoma, a pore for gas exchange in the center, and two guard cells that open and close the stoma to regulate water loss. This plant was water stressed when imaged so the stomata are closed. The large leaf hairs are hypothesized to also help regulate water loss by holding the aerodynamic boundary layer in place on the leaf in windy conditions. |
