The role of stomata and its importance in resistance of Acasia synophyla trees to gas air pollutants


Abstract in English

The present research was conducted to study the resistance of Acasia tree which were near to Banias- Jableh freeway. This study was performed by study the stomata and its distribution on the upper and down leaf surfaces. Also, a concentration of chlorophyll and a severity of photosynthesis, then compared the results between the polluted region with the control one. Results showed that a number of stomata decreased in polluted region compared to the control one, where this reduction play a role in reduce the injury resulting from gas air pollutants, and this reflexes on the severity of photosynthesis and the chlorophyll.
