STRUCTURE OF LEAVES OF SOME VARIETIES OF PERSIMMON (DIOSPYROS L.) OF THE SOUTH OF KYRGYZSTAN

Abstract

The article is devoted to the structural features of the leaves of widespread varieties of persimmon (Diospyros L.): chocolate persimmon, lemon persimmon, chamomile persimmon and tangerine persimmon. It has been established that the studied varieties are found mainly in cultivation and are grown in more or less favorable irrigated areas of the region. However, the adaptive characteristics of the leaves differ significantly. This shows the unequal ways of adapting them to the conditions of their habitat. The following can be noted from the comparison of the anatomical structures of definitive leaves of 4 widely distributed varieties of persimmons. The elements that make up the leaf plate, their location, cell shapes, specialization of mesophyll into palisade and loose parenchyma are basically similar in all varieties.
