I started this blog of Plant Stomata Encyclopedia without any intention of publishing a book. I am convinced that this Encyclopedia is a never ending story. There will always be researchers publishing new data. That is the reason why I opted for a website (blog), where we (and our followers) are able to complete the Encyclopedia until the end of times.
The day will come that I will hand over the administration of the blog to one or more younger colleagues (fellow stomata researchers). In the meanwhile, I hope that many researchers will be able to contribute to this Encyclopedia by sending missing abstracts (mentioned in our bibliographical lists). Completing such an Encyclopedia is not a task for one single expert.
