Leaf anatomy of the Sesleria rigida Heuffel ex Reichenb.(Poaceae) in Serbia (original) (raw)
A detail description of the total variability of the characters of the leaf anatomy in different populations of taxon S. rigida sensu lato on the territory of Serbia was made. Morphometric analyses were performed on the cross-section of 521 tiller leaves collected from 21 populations of S. rigida in Serbia. Statistical data analyses were calculated for 27 morphometric characters. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum and standard error, coefficient of variation) were calculated for each character state and correlative variability and variations in regard to the geographical gradients was performed to identify the trends in anatomical differentiation. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to identify significant variation between each character. A detail analysis has shown that local populations are anatomically very well differentiated into the serpentine populations from western and carbonate populations from eastern Serbia.
