What is Transpiration

Transpiration is the process by which the loss of water from a plant takes place in the form of water vapor.
Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported to the leaves.
In the leaves, small pores allow water to escape as a vapor.

4 Types of Transpiration

There are 4 Types of Transpiration

STOMATAL TRANSPIRATION
CUTICULAR TRANSPIRATION
LENTICULAR TRANSPIRATION
BARK TRANSPIRATION

What is Lenticular Transpiration?

Lenticular transpiration is found only in the woody branches and some fruits where lenticels occur.
The lenticular transpiration is only 0.1% of the total transpiration.
Lenticular transpiration occurs all day and night because lenticels have no mechanism of closure like Stomata.
The lenticels connect the atmospheric air with the cortical tissue of the stem through the intercellular spaces present amongst the complementary cells.
