Description

Old VersionNew Version
1<p>In this laboratory exercise, you will investigate different structural and functional aspects of transpiration. You will observe different components of the plant vascular system and conduct an experimental manipulation of corn (<em>Zea mays</em>), a C<sub>4</sub> plant, and sunflower (<em>Helianthus annuus</em>), a C<sub>3</sub> plant. The results of this exploration will demonstrate the fundamental principles of transpiration and the function of plant structures in this important physiological process.</p> 1<p>In this laboratory exercise, you will investigate changes in transpiration due to species variation and environment. Several varieties of tomato are grown from seed within a common garden environment. Stomatal density is estimated for each of these varieties. Tomato plants are then subjected to student-driven experimental treatments that test hypotheses about transpiration related to tomato variety and treatments.&nbsp;Food security and crop transpiration are discussed.</p>
