- Observation Under water deficit, Chemlali maintained higher photosynthetic assimilation than Meski.
- Intervention effect With water stress, Chemlali upper palisade thickness increased 17%.
- Intervention effect With water stress, Chemlali spongy parenchyma thickness increased 22%.
- Intervention effect With water stress, Meski upper palisade thickness increased 9%.
- Intervention effect With water stress, Meski spongy parenchyma thickness increased 13%.
- Intervention effect Chemlali stomatal density increased 25% during drought.

- Intervention effect Chemlali leaf size decreased 24% under lower water availability.
- Intervention effect Meski leaf size decreased 15% under lower water availability.
- Intervention effect Chemlali trichome density increased 25% under lower water availability.
- Intervention effect Meski trichome density remained unchanged under lower water availability.
- Intervention effect Chemlali upper epidermis thickness increased 32% under lower water availability.
- Intervention effect Chemlali lower epidermis thickness increased 25% under lower water availability.
- Intervention effect Meski epidermis thickness remained unchanged under lower water availability.
- Mechanism The leaf anatomy changes were proposed to improve tree water-use efficiency.
- Recommendation The authors proposed upper palisade, spongy parenchyma, stomatal density and trichome density as selection criteria for drought-resistant olive.
