| Abstract/Contents: | "The leaf epidermis of creeping bentgrass Agrostis stolonifera (L.) was observed with autofluorescence by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The three-dimensional observation revealed that leaf epidermal cells in a layer were morphologically complicated, different in shape and thickness, adhered to each other like a jigsaw puzzle, and some stomata were slightly covered with adjacent cells. Leaf strings, fixed probably over veins, were remarkably observed to be fistulous, and "prickle hairs" or trichomes were hollow. These observations suggest that the complex structures of creeping bentgrass leaf epidermis may relate to growth efficiency or possibly a survival strategy. To our knowledge, this is the first and preliminary report on three-dimensional observations of turfgrass leaf epidermis by CLSM." |
