Plants bear tiny pores on their leaves called stomata—Greek for mouths—through which they acquire in carbon dioxide from the air and from which water evaporates. New work from the lab of Dominique Bergmann,honorary adjunct staff member at Carnegie's Department of Plant Biology and professor at Stanford University, reveals ways that the systems regulating the development of stomata in grasses could be harnessed to improve plant efficiency and agricultural yield.
