BUTOMUS UMBELLATUS MORPHO-STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS ON ADAPTIVE PLASTICITY
Journal Title: Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Serie noua, Sectiunea II a. Biologie vegetala - Year 2009, Vol 55, Issue 1
Abstract
This work points out a series of adaptive modifications of the species Butomus umbellatus L. as an answer to the variations of water factor. Being one of the plants evaluated as dominant in the Romanian part of the Danube (the principal course and the associated connectives), research has oriented towards its growing forms in which we can find it, forms that support its adaptive plasticity. The variability of some structural characteristics (epidermis, assimilative tissue, aerenchyma, mechanical tissue and conducting tissue) is noticed both at the leaf level and at the flowering stem, and support the efficient transition of the species, from the aquatic to the terrestrial medium.
