The experts have already applied for a patent and are currently investigating ways to turn their findings into tools for breeders and farmers.

Scientists from the University of California in San Diego captured and posted on the network a video of how the plant gasps for air. The Daily Mail writes about it.

The video is a macro shot of the plant’s response to changes in carbon dioxide and humidity levels.

Close-up shot of individual stomata. These are the pores in the epidermis of the leaves at the moment. The video shows when they open and close.

It has been observed that thousands of small holes are found in the leaves of plants. The closure of the pores located on the sides of the stomatal pore. They act like a gate, and after a “suck”, the proteins signal the cells to relax and they close.

The scientists also discovered that when the plant senses that carbon dioxide levels are elevated, a second protein blocks the first. It prevents stomata from opening or closing.

Recall that early Chinese geneticists hacked and rearranged the genes of a plant related to tobacco. As a result, medicines are made from it.
