Answer to Question #170810 in Biology for Elvisa

Question

Explain clearly how stomatal density occurs in plants in vitro (in culture vessels) compared to those grown in vivo. Why does this happen?

Answer 1

Higher stomata density can amplify the potential for behavioral control over water loss and carbon dioxide uptake. As stomata density depends on water, carbon dioxide and light,the stomatal density will vary between plants grown in vitro and in vivo.
