Adaptações anatômicas em folhas de marmeleiro e velame da caatinga brasileira
Barros, Ileane Oliveira; Soares, Arlete AparecidaWater availability is the main limiting factor for plants in arid and semi-arid environments. In these plants, a combination of characteristics contributes to water economy, among them being anatomical features. Thus, studies in leaves of the quince (Croton blanchetianus) and the velame (Croton heliotropiifolius), two common species in the caatinga and of importance in beekeeping, were performed to verify adapt...
Anatomia ecológica foliar de espécies da caatinga
Barros, Ileane OliveiraIn semiarid environments water availability is a main limiting factor for plants. A combination of characteristics can contribute to saving water, including the anatomical ones. The anatomical attributes often associated with environments of water restriction are called xeromorphic. The leaves are organs commonly exposed to sunlight which have large areas of transpiration. It is assumed that the leaves of speci...
