Miguel Angelo Branco Camargo; Ricardo Antonio Marenco Acta Amazonica 2011. doi:10.1590/s0044-59672011000200004

Other claims from this paper (11)

Observation Stomata were found only on the abaxial leaf surface across species.
Observation Stomatal density and size varied widely among species.
Observation Stomatal density ranged from 110 mm-2 in Neea altissima to 846 mm-2 in Qualea acuminata.
Observation In most species stomatal density ranged from 271 to 543 mm-2.
Association Stomatal density and size were negatively related.
Association Stomatal density was positively related to tree height (r² = 0.14, p < 0.01).
Association Stomatal density was not correlated with leaf thickness.
Observation Anomocytic stomata were most common at 37%.
Observation Anisocytic stomata accounted for 11%.
Mechanism The authors infer stomatal distribution depends on species genetic background more than environmental changes.
Mechanism The authors infer tree height dependent environmental factors influence stomatal density.

Other claims from this paper (13)

Method / resource Morphological, anatomical and molecular relationships yielded congruent results.
Observation Bauhinia was non-monophyletic in the inferred relationships.
Observation Piliostigma was non-monophyletic in the inferred relationships.
Observation Examined Bauhinia species had polygonal leaf epidermal shapes with straight cell walls, except B. tomentosa.
Observation B. tomentosa had an undulating epidermal cell wall.
Observation Piliostigma species had hemiparacytic stomata.
Method / resource The dendrogram revealed species interrelationships at a distance value of 80.
Method / resource Bayesian analysis yielded high species resolution and posterior probability.
Observation The strict consensus tree showed polyphyletic Bauhina divided into three major clades.
Observation Piliostigma showed paraphyletic and polyphyletic relationships within Bauhinia with high support.
Association B tomentosa was more closely related to Piliostigma species.
Recommendation The results support dividing the large Bauhinia s.s group into subclades.
Recommendation Further Bauhinieae phylogenetic work should consider more variable gene regions and broader species sampling.
