G. Patrignani et al., LEAF MORPHOLOGY AND CARBON-ISOTOPE DISCRIMINATION IN MEMBERS OF THE GENUS SALSOLA .1. STUDIES ON SALSOLA-KALI L, Caryologia, 46(4), 1993, pp. 283-291
This paper refers to morphological and physiological studies on Salsol
a kali L. leaves of various age; 13C/12C ratio was measured and anatom
ical and ultrastructural aspects related to their C4 photosynthesis we
re analyzed by means of light and electron microscopy. Interesting res
ults have been attained regarding chloro-plasts, plasmodesmata and ves
icles proliferation, probably connected with the C4 metabolism.
