The condition, however, is that the stomata stay open, otherwise it will be difficult for the plant to evacuate its heat. In this case, the plant temperature can increase too much, which may result in plant damage. An example of this is chlorophyll damage, as a result of which the leaf can turn yellow. The plant will substitute the chlorophyll where possible, which will cost it assimilates. If the plant temperatures increase further, parts of the plant can also be irreversibly damaged. This is visible in the burned parts of the leaf.
