Leaf anatomical characterization of white basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
to its multiple properties; for this reason it was decided to
conduct this work, with the aim to study the leaf anatomy of
white basil plants. The experiment was carried out in the
National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), with plants
cultivated in pots. Leaf tissue samples were free-handed cut,
and epidermis impressions were taken. It was appreciated that
between chlorophyllic parenchymas in both leaf surfaces,
cavities containing essential basil oils are observed. One
important cavity characteristic is that they are in both surfaces.
In the analyzed leaves, glands can be observed in different
growth stages; this is a very important characteristic, because
they could vary according to plant development conditions.
