Plants have tiny ‘mouths’ called stomata on their leaf surface which allow exchange of gases and water with the environment.

Like humans, plants have a complex immune system for defence against microbial pathogen or ‘germs’ invisible to our eye.

If we put hands covered in germs into our mouth, we become sick; similarly, pathogen entering the stomata causes infection in plants and can make them sick!

To prevent germ infection, plants close their ‘stomata’ as a first strategy of defence.
