Studying of anatomic structure of Amaranthus retroflexus L. herb

Abstract

Amaranthus retroflexus L. is a perspective medical plant. We studied anatomic structure specialities of its stems and leaves. We visualized anomocytic stomatas and simple thin-walled multicellular trichomes on both sides of leaves. Big amount of calcium oxalate druses and cells with crystal sand along leaf ribes were found in mesophyll. Many conducting bundles (xylem, phloem and sclerenchyma) were detected on sectional cross of culm. We didn’t detected sclerenchymatous belt, angular collenchyma, simple thin-walled multicellular trichomes and crystalic inclusions.
