“…Samples observed under scanning electron microscope the ornaments in pits and striations on the vessels walls were observed. These striations were shown to be characteristics of the 3 Prosopis species studied (Bolzon de Muniz et al, 2010). Environments play a great role on wood anatomical characters and measured in tree-rings have proved to be useful in dendrochronology.…”

A study has been undertaken on wood anatomy of 20 woody species in northeast Mexico. There exists large variation among species in wood anatomical traits such as porosity, vessel diameter, its distribution, parenchyma, compactness of ground tissues and fibre cell characteristics. Most of the species have narrow vessels which help protection against cavitation. Most of the species are ring to semiring porous viz., Acacia amentacea, Acacia berlandieri, Acacia shaffneri, Acacia wrightii, Cordia boissieri, Helietta parviflora, Condalia hookeri, Xanthoxylum fagara, Celtis pallida, Celtis laevigata, Caesalpinia mexicana, Eysenhardtia polystachya; only few of them are diffuse porous viz., Diospyros palmeri, Diospyros texana. Fibre cell characteristics also showed large variations in morphology, size, lumen breadth and in compactness, these species were soft and hard wood. Most of the species have narrow vessels, viz., Acacia berlandieri, Acacia shaffneri, Acacia wrightii, Helietta parviflora, Cordia boissieri, Diospyros palmeri, Celtis laevigata, Eysenhardtia polystachya, Xanthoxyllum fagara. Celtis pallida contained medium sized vessels, while Celtis laevigata and Caesalpinia mexicana possessed big sized vessels. Many of the species possess narrow vessels which although impose transport of water but protect the vessels against cavitation during drought and freezing the species with small narrow vessels mentioned have strategy to adapt both to hot and cold climate against cavitation. The species having big vessel diameter may be susceptible to drought such as Celtis pallida, Caesalpinia mexicana or they may have deep root system for adaptation to semiarid climates in northeast Mexico. All these wood anatomical traits could be utilized to distinguish species as well as quality determinations of species. The variation in hydraulic systems determine the capacity of water transport among species Statstically significant differences are observed in all wood anatomical parameters among species studied.

“…However, the number of vessels/mm 2 showed large variations among species and between individuals of the same species. The variations in striations were shown to be characteristics of the three Prosopis species [48].Environments play a great role on wood anatomical characters. A study was undertaken on wood anatomical features measured in treerings in the East-Ore Mountains, Germany in rings of trees grown under severe stresses.…”

On the other hand, few studies discuss the role of the anatomical traits in the adaptation of the species to different habitats. In a study Solanum nigrum collected from different habitats in Europe and in Yugoslavia showed variability in terms of stomata number, number of hairs, thickness of lamina, palisade and spongy tissue, as well as the size of mesophyll cells of the species collected from different localities [15]. A similar study on the anatomical basis of resistance on plant species AbstractThe present paper make a synthesis of a comparative leaf anatomy including leaf surface, leaf lamina, petiole and venation as well as wood anatomy of 30 woody species of a Tamaulipan Thorn Scrub, Northeastern Mexico. The results showed a large variability in anatomical traits of both leaf and wood anatomy. The variations of these anatomical traits could be effectively used in taxonomic delimitation of the species and adaptation of the species to xeric environments. For example the absence or low frequency of stomata on leaf surface, the presence of long palisade cells, and presence of narrow xylem vessels in the wood could be related to adaptation of the species to drought. Besides the species with dense venation and petiole with thick collenchyma and sclerenchyma and large vascular bundle could be well adapted to xeric environments. It is suggested that a comprehensive consideration of leaf anatomy (leaf surface, lamina, petiole and venation) and wood anatomy should be used as a basis of taxonomy and drought resistance. of a typical arid Mediterranean ecosystem confirms the presence of several adaptive properties such as the presence of ergastic substances, mainly tannins and calcium oxalate in internal tissue, tolerance to the strong UV-B solar irradiance in the summer, besides the presence of trichomes, on the abaxial surfaces of leaves maintained water budget of the plants. In many species, trichomes or wax layers reduced radiation absorbance, two or three layers of palisade parenchyma presumably provide a better efficiency in utilizing the photosynthetic light. In almost every plant examined, stomata were sunken or well protected [16]. Research Advances on Leaf andA comparative study made in Venezuela on leaf epidermis of an orchid, Cattleya jenmani in vitro conditions demonstrated that compared to normal ones, the epidermal cells showed larger in size, lower anticlinal cell wall, lower size of stomata for adaptation of orchid, the leaves suffered changes in cells with an increase of mechanical resistance and rigidity [17].An ecophysiological study undertaken on two urban forestry species (Azadirachta indica and Millettia thonningii) demonstrated that the pattern of transpiration in M. thonningii was low in the morning, high in the noon and low in the afternoon. Leaf anatomical study revealed the presence of thick cuticle and high stomatal frequency in A. indica and a low stomatal frequency in M. thonningii [18]. Significant inter-cultivar differences among Hibiscus cultivars in leaf anatomical characteristics w...
