Leaf anatomy of Ficus maroma (Moraceae), and analyse of exposed leaves to environmental pollution in the province of Tucumán (Argentina)
Cabrera, Cecilia N.; Graciela A. Gelsi; Patricia L. Albornoz; Marta E. Arias, 2009. “Leaf anatomy of Ficus maroma (Moraceae), and analyse of exposed leaves to environmental pollution in the province of Tucumán (Argentina)”. Lilloa 46 (1-2). This paper describes the leaf anatomy of F. maroma and analyses the changes in exposed leaves to environmental pollution. Fresh material was fixed in FAA. Conventional histological techniques were used. The leaf is dorsiventral and hypostomatic. Adaxial epidermis is pluriestratified and the abaxial is uniestratified. Trichomes are single and glandular. Stomata are actinocytic and cyclocytic type. Cystolits, druses and cubics crystals are present. Petiole subcircular exhibit tree bicollateral vascular bundles. According to statistics analysis, exposed leaves to atmospheric pollution show changes anatomycal. It characterizes the leaf anatomy of F. maroma and could be considered this species as bioindicator of environmental pollution.
