Provide an abstract of experiment about the transpiration of plant done by using four leaves and grease ?

The experiment aimed to investigate the effect of grease on the transpiration rate of plant leaves. Four identical leaves were selected from a plant and divided into two groups: one group was treated with a thin layer of grease on the surface, while the other group served as the control. The leaves were then placed in a controlled environment with consistent light, temperature, and humidity levels. The rate of transpiration was measured by recording the weight loss of each leaf over a set period of time.

The results showed that the leaves treated with grease had a significantly lower transpiration rate compared to the control group. This suggests that the presence of grease on the leaf surface creates a barrier that reduces the loss of water through transpiration. These findings have implications for understanding the role of surface coatings in regulating plant water loss and may have practical applications in agriculture and horticulture.
