Transpiration is the process of loss of water through aerial parts of the plant in vapor form.
Enormous amounts of water are lost through the process of transpiration.
It occurs mainly during the day when the temperature is higher.
It takes place through stomata, lenticels, and cuticles.
It occurs under dry conditions.
It takes place when stomata are open.
Factors that cause the rate of transpiration to rise:
When the temperature rises, the impacts are reflected in increased evaporation and transpiration.
Wind enhances transpiration and evaporation by removing water vapor from the leaves, resulting in a higher water vapor pressure gradient.
By inducing the stoma to open, the light aids in increasing the rate of transpiration. Broader stomata accelerate the diffusion of water vapor out of the leaf.
