Coordination of leaf water supply and demand in aquatic and land plants
Is there a difference between emergent aquatic and terrestrial monocot herbs when it comes to coordination of leaf stomatal and vein traits?
Hydraulic adjustments are of limited use in bracken fern
Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.

An inverse stomatal frequency–pCO2 correlation for Quercus glauca
The inverse correlation between atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and stomatal frequency in many plants has been widely used to estimate palaeo-CO2 levels. However, apparent discrepancies exist among the obtained...

Cell expansion links leaf veins and stomata
In some woody plants, adjusting leaf size (via epidermal cell size) balances water supply (veins) with transpirational demand (stomata). However, it is unclear whether this is a general pattern among plant species...

Aridity-related stomatal differences in a South African shrub
Plants in arid environments often have predictably different phenotypes than those in moist environments. Within species, such trait–environment associations could indicate local adaptation, yet supporting evidence is...
Contrasting strategies to cope with drought conditions by two tropical forage C4 grasses
Drought severely limits forage productivity of C4 grasses across the tropics. Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and Brachiaria hybrid cv. Mulato II are tropical C4 grasses used for livestock production due to their...

Stomata and atmospheric CO2 in bryophytes
This study strengthens the hypothesis of incremental rather than early acquisition of stomatal regulatory processes through land plant evolution.
Positive pCO2–stomatal frequency relationship in Quercus
Hu et al. determine a new positive relationship between atmospheric pCO2 and stomatal frequency in Quercus guyavifolia.
Stomatal distribution and stem tracheid dimensions
Leaf and wood plasticity are key elements in the survival of widely distributed plant species. Locosselli and Ceccantini study the variation of stomatal distribution in leaf epidermis together with tracheid dimensions...
