Atmospheric factor that acts as antitranspirant is CO2 or carbon dioxide.
* The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.03℅ but when it increases, it acts as an antitranspirant by stimulating the partial or complete closure of the stomata present on leaves.
* The stomata are responsible for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide so complete closure affects photosynthesis as well as respiration.
* Since, water is lost from the aerial parts of the plants by the process of transpiration, a rise in carbon dioxide also affects this process.
