| transpiration | the process of passing water through the surface of a plant's leaves respiration. Loss of water from a plant, mainly through the stomata (see stoma) of leaves. Darkness, internal water deficit, and extremes of temperature tend to close stomata and decrease transpiration; illumination, ample water supply, and optimum temperature cause stomata to open and increase transpiration. Its exact significance is disputed; its roles in providing the energy to transport water in the plant and in aiding dissipation of the sun's heat (by cooling through evaporation of water) have been challenged. Since stomatal openings are necessary for the exchange of gases, transpiration has been considered by some to be merely an unavoidable phenomenon that accompanies the real functions of the stomata | en | en |
| transpiration | Process in which water is absorbed by the root systems of a plant, moves up through the plant, passes through pores (stomata) in leaves, and then evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapor | en | en |
| transpiration | the transfer of water from the leaves of plants to water vapor in the atmosphere | en | en |
| transpiration | The process in plants by which water is taken up by the roots and released as water vapor by the leaves The term can also be applied to the quantity of water thus dissipated (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990) | en | en |
| transpiration | The process by which plants return moisture to the air Plants take up water through their roots and then lose some of the water through pores in their leaves As hot air passes over the surface of the leaves, the moisture absorbs the heat and evaporates into the air | en | en |

| transpiration | Transpiration is the process of water loss from plants through stomata Stomata are small openings found on the underside of leaves that are connected to vascular plant tissues Some dry environment plants do have the ability to open and close their stomata Transpiration is a passive process largely controlled by the humidity of the atmospheric and the moisture content of the soil Of the transpired water passing through a plant only 1 % is used in the growth process Transpiration also transports nutrients from the soil into the roots and carries them to the various cells of the plant | en | en |

| transpiration | Water is continually being pumped upward through the plant in the xylem Once it reaches the leaves it is transpired through pores called stomata A typical plant will lose over ninety percent of the water absorbed by its roots through transpiration This makes plants highly susceptible to drought Plants (like the cacti) that evolved in arid climates have developed thick skins and have fewer surfaces (shorter stems and modified leaves) to protect against dehydration due to transpiration | en | en |
