Abstract/Contents: | Discusses stomata, plant structures "that allow for gas exchange and transpiration to occur." Describes the structure of stomata, stating that "the stomatal area of the leaf blade includes the guard cells and the stomatal pore." Discusses transpiration's role in dissipating heat from the leaf blade. Concludes that "turfgrass health depends on the ability to capture and store energy through photosynthesis and cool itself through transpiration...Although small and relatively insignificant when compared to the entire leaf surface, stomata play a critical role in turfgrass health." |
