A COMPARATIVE NUMERIC ANALYSIS OF THE SECRETORY TRICHOMES BELONGING TO THE FOLIAR LIMB IN SOME DROSERA SPECIES
Journal Title: Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Serie noua, Sectiunea II a. Biologie vegetala - Year 2008, Vol 54, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper is focused on a comparative numeric analysis of the secretory pedicelate (tentacular) trichomes of the upper epidermis of the leaf in 16 Drosera species and of the sessile secretory trichomes belonging to both upper and lower epidermis in the same species. The bigger is the number of the secretory trichomes, in both epidermises, the more efficient is the plant in capturing and retaining different organisms. This way, the carnivorous plants can completely benefit by the nutritive compounds resulted from the preys.
