Stoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In botany, a stoma (also stomate ; plural stomata ) is a pore, found in the leaf and stem epidermis that is used for gas exchange. The pore is formed by a pair of specialized parenchyma cells kn...

Regulation of Guard Cells ... The Guard cells control the stomatal openings in the epidermis of the leaf. ... When the guard cells are activated, K+ pumps actively transport K+ into the guard cells, resulting in a high [K+] in the cells.

Photographs Of Guard Cells & Stomata ... Note the paired guard cells and stoma (opening slit) between them (circled in red). Also note the scattered hairs (trichomes). Each hair arises from a pedestal-like basal cell containing a nucleus.

Guard cell starch concentration was higher in the leaflets with closed stomata than in open stomata by 72 ± 16 millimoles per kilogram dry weight (anhydroglucosyl equivalents) (N = 117, P < 0.02). Variation in guard cell starch concentration from one part of a leaflet to another was small.

Stomata are microscopic pores found on the under-surface of leaves and on stems. They occur in the epidermal tissue. Each stomatal pore is bounded by two crescent shaped guard cells. The guard cell wall closest to the pore is thicker than the remaining walls and therefore less flexible.
