Leaf Epidermis Structure in Cydonia Oblonga Mill. (Rosaceae)

ABSTRACT

The leaf epidermis structure of Cydonia oblonga Mill. has been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. Cuticle ornamentation and waxes have been observed. Simple single trichomes and cyclocytic stomatal type are determined. An attempt to estimate all features of taxonomic value is made and some relationships within subfamily Maloideae are discussed. ncentration 200 μM CdCl₂. Glutathione reductase (GR) activity was not detected in algal cells of the all experimental variants
