Anatomical and morphological study of vegetative organs of Fritillaria karelinii (Fisch. ex D. Don) Baker from natural populations of southeastern Kazakhstan

Abstract

The article shows results of anatomical and morphological studies of the vegetative organs of Fritillariakarelinii from various populations of southeastern Kazakhstan, in which differences were found in the rate of developmentof aerenchyma, a number of vascular bundles in leaves and stems. It has been established that moisture conditions of thehabitats of the species affect a number of layers and the ordering of parenchymal cells in the structure of the root and stem,as well as development of the cuticle on the leaf surface. The revealed anatomical and morphological features of the speciescan serve as diagnostic signs of plant materials.
