Abstract:

To illustrate the leaf anatomical structure and photosynthetic characteristics of two Acanthaceae Plants, this study investigated Megaskepasma erythrochlamys and Pachystachys lutea in the greenhouse of Qingdao World Horticultural Exposition. The leaves were dissected and analyzed by paraffin imbedding method and the photosynthetic characteristics of leaves were measured by CIRAS-3 portable photosynthesis system. The results showed that in the same environment, the internal structures of the leaves of the two Acacia plants were similar, the upper epidermis was thicker than that of the lower, and the sponge tissue was thicker than that of palisade tissue. The photosynthetic indexes had differences, the transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration of Megaskepasma erythrochlamys were larger than those of Pachystachys lutea. However, the water use efficiency and the net photosynthetic rate of Pachystachys lutea were larger than those of Megaskepasma erythrochlamys.

Key words: greenhouse, Acanthaceae, leaf, paraffin section, anatomical structure, photosynthetic characteristics
