A COMPARATIVE STUDY REGARDING THE MORPHOLOGY AND ANATOMY OF THE VEGETATIVE APPARATUS IN TWO OCIMUM BASILICUM L. BREEDS
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
This study compares the structure and morphology of the vegetative subterranean and aerial organs in two Ocimum basilicum L. breeds cultivated in Turkey. The object of this study is to emphasize the infraspecific variation of the plant morphology and anatomy of these two breeds, underlining the importance of the secretory hairs that produce the volatile oils and concede this species the virtue of medicinal herb and aromatic plant.
