guttation

the emergence of water from the endings of leaf veins, usually occurring at night when TRANSPIRATION is low or absent. Guttation is thus a method of exuding excess water and involves special water pores called HYDATHODES at leaf tips which, unlike normal STOMATA, are not able to control their aperture size. The process is common in low-growing plants such as grasses.

Glossary

In some extant angiosperms, guttation occurs primarily in the young leaves, whereas older leaves do not consistently express guttation (e.g., Glenn & Takeda, 1989).
