A research team successfully developed a solar-powered artificial plant device and rapidly purified soil contaminated with radioactive cesium. This device, which mimics plant transpiration, can ...

Tomato plants with early-morning stomatal activity may better handle drought while maintaining yield.

Water typically moves from the land to the atmosphere through soil evaporation and plant transpiration. This process is ...

Chinese scientists have created an energy generator that harnesses the transpiration of plants to create electricity, which could transform almost all leaves on Earth into a sustainable and continuous ...

Nature is abuzz with energy, and its living organisms are similar in some ways but different in others. For instance, animals cool off by drinking water and staying in shaded areas. Plants, in ...

Every day, about one quadrillion gallons of water are silently pumped from the ground to the treetops. Earth's plant life accomplishes this staggering feat using only sunlight. It takes energy to lift ...

In this article we determine the importance of transpiration in plants at three different levels of organization: the plant itself, the ecosystem, and the biosphere, all in terms of entropy production ...
