Components of the phenotypic variability of morpho-anatomical characteristics of wheat flag leaf
Leaf blade area, blade thickness (on vein and between veins), thickness of mesophyll, cell size (height, width) of the photosynthetic tissue, and size (height, width) of vascular bundles were examinated in thirty wheat genotypes of different geographical origin. Significant differences among genotyp...

Summary: | Leaf blade area, blade thickness (on vein and between veins), thickness of mesophyll, cell size (height, width) of the photosynthetic tissue, and size (height, width) of vascular bundles were examinated in thirty wheat genotypes of different geographical origin. Significant differences among genotype were obtained in all the means characteristics under consideration. Calculated values of the variance components (sigma2g, sigma2e, sigma2f), variation coefficient, and heritability show the importance of the genetic variance in blade area and height of cells of the photosynthetic tissue while the role of the ecological variance is more evident in the expression of other traits |
