Question

Do the hydathodes and water lose from hydathodes also get effected due to work of antitranspirant in a plant? If not, why not?
What is intact plant?

Answer 1

Dear student,

Antitranspirant are chemicals or gases which promotes closure of stomata to prevent water loss by transpiration. Hydathodes are the pores in some plants which is surrounded by guard cells but remains open permanently as there is no reguation for closure of pores in hydathodes. Therefore there will be no effect of antitranspirant on hydathodes because they remain open every time.
