The role of the trichomes and their importance in resisting the olea europaea trees of air pollution resulting from the Banias refinery


Abstract in English

We discussed the importance of studying the trichomes award in olive trees, leaves and its role in the resistance to these trees against pollution resulting from the Banias refinery intake, through the study of their density and distribution on a superficial paper and examine the concentration of chlorophyll in the leaves, and comparing the results between the contaminated areas and the control area . Results showed that the density of the trichomes play a role in protecting the ports of entry into force of pollutants into the plant tissue, and its impact on the pigments of photosynthesis, and thus the process of photosynthesis.
