Stomata dimorphism in dicotyledonous plants of temperate climate

Abstract: The leaves of many tropical trees have besides the normal stomata abnormally large stomata long described as "giant stomata." They reflect an additional early phase of stomata initiation during leaf ontogeny. In epidermal replicas from more than 200 dicotyledonous species of temperate climate we also found well defined giant stomata or solitary stomata of normal size in the majority of woody plants, but rarely in herbaceous plants. There is no relationship between taxonomic group and presence of giant stomata.

“…The presence of polymorphic stomata in a single species is rare (PATEL & INAMDAR, 1971;GHOSH & BANERJI, 1981;SHARMA & SEN, 1969). The dimorphism of stomata in more than 200 species of dicotyledonous plants has been discussed by BOLDT & RANK (2011). METCALFE & CHALK (1950) mentioned rubiaceous (paracytic) stomata in the family Canellaceae.…”

“…However, in case of giant stomata the size attaines c. 7.2 × 2.16 µm and such stomata are scattered throughout the laminar surface instead of concentrating along the veins. Though CHANDRA et al (1969, SITHOLEY & PANDEY (1971), TRIVEDI & UPADHYAY (1974), JAIN & SINGH (1975), GHOSH & BANERJI (1981), BOLDT & RANK (2011) reported the existence of giant stomata in many species of angiosperms. However in the plant kingdom in general, particularly in angiospermous families, it is regarded as unusual.…”

“…Position within the crown is also important; in North Bosnia and Herzegovina, Oljača, Govedar, and Hrkić () recorded stomatal density of 293–372 per mm 2 at edge of the crown in full light, and 169–230 per mm 2 on an inner, shaded part of the crown. Similarly, Boldt and Rank () found density to vary from 146 per mm 2 at the base of the crown to 321 per mm 2 in the middle and 322 per mm 2 at the top. Boldt and Rank () also found that stomata can vary in size within a leaf, with 3%–10% of the stomata being “giant”‐sized, reaching 25 to >40 μm long, mixed with those c .…”
