Rice leaves, with stomata on both surfaces (amphistomatous), offer numerous entry points for pathogens. This video explores the unique anatomy of rice leaves, highlighting the role of stomata in disease susceptibility. However, rice leaves are not defenseless. We delve into the role of silica bodies, microscopic structures within the leaf epidermis, which act as a natural defense against insect and fungal attacks. So spray more Silica to toughen up your crops!
