guttationer

Guttationer refers to a type of plant that exudes water droplets from its leaves, stems, or other parts. This process is known as guttation and is a form of transpiration, where water is lost from the plant. Guttation typically occurs in the early morning or late evening, when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the internal pressure of the plant. The water droplets are composed of pure water, as guttation does not involve the loss of minerals or other solutes. This process is most commonly observed in young, actively growing plants, and in plants that are water-stressed or experiencing low atmospheric pressure. Guttation can be an important mechanism for water transport in some plants, particularly in those that lack a well-developed vascular system. It is also a visible indicator of plant health and water status.
