number of stomata i.e. the more the stomata the higher the rate and vice versa turgidity of the guard cells which control the opening and closing of stomata when they are open transpiration rate is high size of leaves where the larger the surface area the higher the rate of transpiration leaf fall leads to lower rate of transpiration and also drying of leaves reduces rate of transpiration
Thin cuticle reduces distance through which water vaporizes hence increase transpiration rate. Absence of cuticle also increase rate of transpiration
OR
- Broad leaf surface;
- Thin cuticle;
- Lack of absence of epidermal hair;
- Increased number/numerous stomata on the upper leaf surface;
