| Abstract:
Number of stomata differ in the lower surface of leaves, the highest number (193) per mm was found in Nemaguard and lowest in Florda 9/3 (87) and Sweet almond (88.6). Longest stomata were those of Okinawa and Bitter almond while the narrowest were of Okinawa and Nemaguard, However, Sweet almond has the narrowest frequency of lenticels differing considerably. Local apricot has the highest number per cm; while Sweet almond has the lowest. The shape of the lenticels as a whole is elliptical. Closing layer is oval in all stocks, however, it is nearly circular in Almond. | |
