Question

What is guttation and in which plants it can be seen?

Answer 1

Guttation:

1. When in green plants the root pressure is high and transpiration is low, the water is forced out in the form of drops from the margins or tips of leaves. This phenomenon is termed guttation.
2. It occurs through specialised pores called hydathodes.
3. It occurs during the night when the soil is moist, and it is easier for the plants to absorb water.
4. Guttation is commonly seen in the plants like tomatoes, potatoes and grasses.
