The study was carried out on P. acerifolia trees in different sites in Rome in the period April-July 2019. Trees comparable for size were selected in A sites (historical parks), B sites (high traffic density streets) and in C sites (high traffic density avenues along the Tevere River characterized by a large water availability). At the morphological level, leaf area (LA) was significantly higher in A and C sites and leaf tissue density (LTD) in C sites. At anatomical level, the total leaf thickness (LT), the palisade parenchyma thickness (Pt), the spongy parenchyma thickness (St) and the abaxial epidermis thickness (Abet) were significantly higher in A sites, while the adaxial cuticle thickness (Adct) and the adaxial epidermis thickness (Adet) in B sites. The ratio between palisade and spongy parenchyma thickness (P/S) was significantly higher in C sites. The plasticity index (PI, 0.42) was calculated on all the considered leaf traits. Among the morphological traits, LTD had the highest plasticity (0.49) and among the anatomical traits, trichomes density (TD) and Adet (0.74 and 0.54, respectively). Overall, the results highlight the large adaptability of P. acerifolia to grow in different sites in Rome through several changes in leaf morphological and anatomical traits.","PeriodicalId":18663,"journal":{"name":"Modern Phytomorphology","volume":"14 1","pages":"55-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71085815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the formulas for calculating the surface area of a leaf (main photosynthetic organ of N. lutea) were obtained. The area formulas for the blade and petiole are based on the area formulas for geometrical figures and allow us to calculate the assimilating surface area of the yellow water-lily as precisely as possible.

For the first time in Ukraine, affection of leaves and branches with anthracnose Colletotrichum gloesporioides (Penz.) Pens. & Sacc. was detected on Liriodendron chinense. Affected leaves turn yellow and fall prematurely. It was established that the highest development of the disease (7.3%) was observed in 2014, which was determined by favourable weather conditions (hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) 2.0 in April and 1.7 in May). Period 2013, 2015 was characterized by a significantly lower manifestation of anthracnose and became 2.2%, 2.6%, respectively. With a strong development of the disease, infection is observed in the branches as well-the bark darkens in the places of affection, the cambium dies off, the branch dries out. For the protection of plants against anthracnose, agro technical measures are recommended, as well as the use of fungicides. It should be noted that since the first signs of the disease it takes about 10-15 days until the death of the leaves. With the strong development of the disease, the infection of branches is observed as well. The use of Champion and Chorus preparations to protect the Liriodendron chinense against anthracnose showed that their effectiveness is high, and the development of the disease have decreased to 0.3% and is not harmful.","PeriodicalId":18663,"journal":{"name":"Modern Phytomorphology","volume":"13 1","pages":"9-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71078271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LMA increasing from 13.75 g/cm2 in current year leaves to 24.84 g/cm2 in 7 year leaves is associated with an increment of the number of lignified elements (vascular tissues, astrosclereids), of hypodermal and epidermal-cuticle structures (cuticle, wax layer) and of oil bodies abundance, which may increase resistance to stress factors.
