Guttation in Plants | Plant Physiology

In several plants the root pressure is manifested as guttation which is the exudation of droplets of water from the margin and tips of leaves (Fig. 8-1). The exudation takes place through groups of leaf cells called hydathodes. The energy involved in secretion of water is supplied by these glandular cells themselves. In a leaf when the general surface is [...]
