Abstract

Wolfgrass is native species of great importance in arid and semiarid áreas of northern Mexico. For this reason, the objetive was to explore and carry out a stomatal characterization in Wolfgrass populations. 33 populations in mature phenological stage were subject to study. The variables evaluates were number of stomata (NE), epidermal cells (NC), stomatal área (AE) and stomatal index (IE) on the adaxial (beam) and abaxial (underside) Surface of the leaf. The data were analyzed using a competely randomized block análisis of variance with five repetitions. The results show thet Wolftail is amphiestomatic species and has diacitic or caryophylaceous type stomata. Which suggests that stomatal characterization is an important technique that provides us with valuable information about the leaf structure of plant species.
