Relationship between stomatal frequencies, yield components and morphological characters in collections of winter wheat cultivars
1978
Genotypes on the Belgian national list as well as about 120 genotypes of winter wheat from the world collection were examined for the relationships of their stomatal frequencies in the flag leaf with yield, yield components and other morphological characters. Stomata were in rows, with a higher density in adaxial leaf surface. Cultivars differed significantly in both stomatal density and number of rows of stomata per unit of leaf width. Yield and morphological characters in general showed no significant correlation with stomatal frequencies. Densities in all series examined ranged from 46 to 78 stomata per mm2 in the adaxial leaf epidermis and from 32 to 93 in the abaxial one.
