Anatomical-histological observations conducted on aquatic ferns in the Danube Delta
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Development - Year 2017, Vol 24, Issue
Abstract
This paper analyses aquatic ferns from the genera Azolla Lam., Marsilea L. and Salvinia Séguier, which occur in the Danube Delta, Romania, and comprises a series of anatomical and histological observations of taxonomical, chorological and eco-morphological importance. The research conducted on specimens collected between 2005-2013 from the natural habitats of the Danube Delta, but also from the extra-deltaic artificial habitats have enabled: i) a reconsideration of some chorological aspects regarding the species of the genus Azolla in Romania; ii) a greater understanding of the adaptive plasticity relative to the factor water for the taxon Marsilea quadrifolia L. collected from natural and artificial habitats; iii) the enrichment of the data regarding the structural characteristics of the taxon Salvinia natans (L.) All., particularly around the adaptive elements associated with living on the surface of the water.
