The epidermis of the leaf of Zea mays transmits changes it water potential in the water supply of the leaf to the Stomata within 0.1 second. Reduction in water supply can caluse the subsidiary cells surrounding the stomata to collapse within 1.5 minutes, and the epidermis to shrink to one-third of its original thickness within 20 minutes.
玉米叶片的表皮能在 0.1 秒内向叶片供水系统传输其水势变化,供水减少会导致围绕气孔的副卫细胞在 1.5 分钟内崩溃,表皮在 20 分钟内收缩至原来厚度的三分之一。
