Stomata are small apertures inward the epidermal surface of a institute leaf, stalk or bloom through which gaseous central in addition to H2O transpiration occur. Stomata are infinitesimal apertures inward the epidermis of aerial parts of the plants bounded past times 2 kidney shaped guard cells. Stomata are absent inward roots.
It may occur 3 dissimilar positions inward relation to epidermal cells:
i) They may live on at the same marker every 2nd the adjoining epidermal cells every 2nd inward close mesophytic plants.
ii) In xerophytic plants, the stomata are sunken every 2nd they are located inward a loving cup shaped depression. iii) Sometimes the stomata are slightly raised higher upwards the surface of epidermis.
Hydathodes are specialized pores along the margins in addition to apex of the foliage through which the secretion of H2O (guttation) takes place. Hydathodes or H2O stomata consists of vein endings, epithem, bedchamber in addition to pores. Pore is surrounded past times guard cells but it remains opened upwards permanently.
Stomata vs Hydathodes (Water Stomata)
Stomata
1. Stomata acquaint solely on the lower epidermis of dorsiventral foliage in addition to on both epidermis of isobilateral leaf. (In the illustration of lotus stomata present on the upper epidermis.)
2. Guard cells e'er acquaint in addition to due to their flaccidity the stomatal pore may live on closed.
3. Epithem does non present.
4. Only H2O comes out inward the shape of vapour through the stomata. No mineral salts liberated amongst water.
Hydathodes (Water stomata)
1. Water stomata acquaint close the margin of leaf, similar Lycopersicon esculentum
2. Guard cells e'er absent. The pore e'er remains open, in addition to never closed.
3. Thin walled cells amongst intercellular spaces called epithem is present.
4. Water along amongst mineral (inorganic) salts are liberated thorough the pores inward the shape of liquid droplets.
