Stomatal pores are adjustable microscopic holes on the surface of photosynthetic tissues that help regulate multiple aspects of plant physiology. Stomatal pores facilitate gas exchange necessary for photosynthesis, water transport, and temperature regulation. Pore size is influenced by many intertwined environmental, molecular, cellular, and physiological cues. Accurate and precise measurements of pore size is important for understanding the mechanisms that adjust pores and plant physiology. Here we investigate whether conventional pore measurements of width are appropriate for the economically important crop plant . Our studies demonstrate that pore area is a more sensitive measurement than width in this plant.
气孔是光合组织表面可调节的微小孔洞，有助于调节植物生理学的多个方面。气孔促进光合作用、水分运输和温度调节所需的气体交换。孔径受到许多相互交织的环境、分子、细胞和生理信号的影响。准确精确地测量孔径对于理解调节气孔和植物生理学的机制很重要。在这里，我们研究传统的宽度孔径测量方法是否适用于这种具有经济重要性的作物。我们的研究表明，在这种植物中，孔面积是比宽度更敏感的测量指标。
