Epidermal featutres of both upper and lower surfaces of leaves in three brinjal varieties
Source publication
Studies on the leaf epidermal morphological characteristics were conducted on the three varieties of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) belonging to the family Solanaceae. The varieties used in the study were Bhavani Gold, Purple Round and Haritha. Fresh mature brinjal leaves were randomly selected from the three experimental genotypes, and the foliar...

... the abaxial surface, the mean value varied Haritha shows 16.75 μm followed by Purple Round (15.5 μm). Epidermal cell width of all varieties in their upper epidermis was Haritha (10.5 μm), Bhavani Gold (9.25 μm), Purple Round (9 μm) and lower epidermis were Haritha (11 μm), Bhavani Gold (10 μm) and Purple Round (10.25 μm) ( Table 2). ...Similar publications
This study examined the potential of two Vernonia amygdalina varieties (bitter and non-bitter) as sources of nutrients and medicinal compounds. Micromorphological analysis revealed variations in stomata size (bitter: 1.57±0.20 μm; non-bitter: 1.49±0.42 μm), index (bitter: 1.20±0.60%; non-bitter: 2.30±0.21%), and trichome index (bitter: 0.55±0.36%;...
The micromorphology of epidermal cells, different types of trichomes, and stomatal complex were used to describe leaf epidermal traits. Light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to thoroughly analyze the foliar anatomical features of 33 taxa of aromatic and medicinal plants of sub family Nepetoideae. To accurately ident...
The adaxial leaf surface of butterworts (Pinguicula L.) presents specialized structures for carnivory, such as trichomes and sessile glands. The micromorphology of abaxial leaf surfaces has rarely been investigated; therefore, this study aimed to compare the micromorphology of adaxial and abaxial surfaces through electron scanning microscopy (SEM)...
The stem apical meristems (SAM) are essential for the primary growth of plants and possess protective mechanisms to safeguard their fragile structures, including stipules and chemical secretions such as mucilage. This study examines Begonia curtii, focusing on the origin and composition of its protective sticky secretions. The research is set withi...
Brassicaceae is taxonomically diverse and economically important plant lineage. Species identification and taxa relationship in this group often poses taxonomic problems particularly in temperate geographic regions. The present work was aimed at testing the evolutionary and systematic potential of leaf epidermal microscopic characters in Brassicace...
