Stomatal Variations Among Certain Wild Angiospermic Plants of Mysore, India

Vidhya Lakshmi, A. , Avinash, V. S.

Abstract :

Stomatal type, stomatal index, stomatal frequency and area of stomatal aperture of 11 wild angiospermic plants in a unique environmental region of Mysore district were studied. Out of the 11 wild species, 6 plants showed anomocytic type of stomata. 3 of them had paracytic type of stomata and 2 of them showed anisocytic stomata. Pongamia pinnata L, Ficus racemosa L and Tinospora cordifolia (Thunb.) Miers were hypostomatic (stomata only on the lower epidermis). The remaining 8 species were amphistomatic (stomata on both the epidermal surfaces). The data was subjected to the online Venn Diagram Plotter to derive sets of similar data. Large variations in stomatal type, stomatal index, stomatal frequency and area of stomatal aperture were observed, although diverse plants survived in a unique environment.
