Transpiration Types: Stomatal, Lenticular and Cuticular Transpiration | Plants

The following three points will highlight the three major types of transpiration. The three major types of transpiration are: (1) Stomatal Transpiration (2) Lenticular Transpiration and (3) Cuticular Transpiration. Transpiration mainly takes place through surface of leaves. It is known as Foliar transpiration (more than 90%). Transpiration occurs through young or mature stem is called as Cauline transpiration. Depending upon [...]

Differences between Transpiration and Evaporation

Differences between Transpiration and Evaporation! Transpiration: 1. It is a physiological process. 2. Takes place only from living cell or tissues. 3. Occurs through stomata, cuticle or lenticel. 4. Forces like TP, OP, SP are involved. 5. It mainly occurs during day time. 6. It regulates body temperature of plant. 7. It keeps the surface wet. 8. It helps in [...]

Experiments on Stomata and Transpiration: 12 Experiments

The following points highlight the twelve experiments on stomata and transpiration. They are: (1) Determination of Stomatal Frequency or Number of Stomata Per Unit Area of a Leaf (2) State of Opening of Stomata (3) Use of Darwins Porometer (4) Measurement of the Leaf-Area (5) Determination of the Total Number of Stomata in a Leaf (6) Determination of the Percentage [...]
