Background Stomata are adjustable pores on the surface of plant shoots for efficient gas
exchange and water control. The presence of stomata is essential for plant growth and …

Foliar pathogens exploit natural openings, such as stomata and hydathodes, to invade
plants, multiply in the apoplast, and potentially spread through the vasculature. To …

Pathogen invasion leads to fast, local-to-systemic signal transduction that initiates plant
defense responses. Despite tremendous progress in past decades, aspects of this process …

Plants prevent disease by passively and actively protecting potential entry routes against
invading microbes. For example, the plant immune system actively guards roots, wounds …

Hydathodes are small organs found on the leaf margins of vascular plants which release
excess xylem sap through a process called guttation. While previous studies have hinted at …

Abstract Magnesium (Mg2+) is an essential metal for plant growth; however, its over‐
accumulation in cells can be cytotoxic. The metal tolerance protein family (MTP) belongs to …

What are hydathodes? Hydathodes are plant organs that mediate the release of guttation
droplets (Figure 1A) and are present on leaves of all vascular plants. So-called epithemal or …

Phenomics and chlorophyll fluorescence can help us to understand the various stresses a
plant may undergo. In this research work, we observe the image‐based morphological …

Hydathodes are small organs located on the leaf margins of all vascular plants. They
release excess xylem sap through guttation when stomata are closed or when the humidity …

Hydathode is a plant tissue of vascular plants involved in water release called guttation.
Arabidopsis hydathodes are found at the tips of leaf teeth and contain three major …
