Transpiration in Plants: Its Importance and Applications

The stomata pores are regulated by surrounding guard cells which regulate the rate of transpiration When guard cells become turgid they cause stomata to open

This moves water and other nutrients absorbed by roots to the shoots and other parts of the plant Hence, transpiration is very important for

transpiration While evaporation is present in a watershed, the dominant pathway for water to return to the atmosphere is via transpiration Transpiration describes the

transpiration About 80-90% of the total water lost during transpiration occurs through stomatal transpiration, the mechanism of transpiration is the opening
