Leaf Epidermal Morphology of Ten Wild Tree Peonies in China and Its Taxonomic Significance

Abstract: This research reports for the first time the epidermal characteristics of 10 wild tree peonies belonging to the sect. Moutan group. The leaf micromorphology of 10 wild tree peonies—P. qiui, P. decomposita, P. jishanensis, P. ostii, P. delavayi, P. lutea, P. potanini, P. rockii, P. ludlowii and P. cathayana—were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. The characteristics of the leaf epidermis were found to be constant at the species level, but variable among species. Patterns of anticlinal walls… Show more

“…The surfaces of epidermal cells on the petals were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cross-sectional anatomy of the petals was prepared following the method detailed by Chavarria et al [34] and Olsen et al [35] and visualized under a light microscope (LM) [36][37][38]. Several anatomical characteristics including petal thickness, number of petal cell layers, cuticle thickness, mesophyll thickness, adaxial epidermal thickness, abaxial epidermal thickness, and vessel diameter were measured with the help of the Olympus cellSens standard software [37].…”

“…These paraffin sections were stained with safranin and fast green dye [41], and observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope (BX53, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Petal thickness, cuticle thickness, adaxial epidermal thickness, abaxial epidermal thickness, and mesophyll thickness of the petals were determined with the help of the Olympus cellSens standard software 1.12 [37]. Vein density was measured as the total length of the vascular tissue per mm 2 of petal surface area.…”

“…For example, Fan et al [1] used epidermis cell morphology, cuticular wax, stomatal distribution, morphology, and the stomatal index to classify Holcoglossum Schltr. Jia et al classified tree peonies based on stomatal morphology, stomatal density, vertical wall morphology, and trichome morphology [2].…”
