Study on needle anatomical structure and drought resistance of 15 spruce species by ZHAO Li, BAO Xiulan, WANG Fude, FU Sheng, LIU Lijie, HUO Kaiyu

“…Among them, the variation coefficient of the stele area was the largest (22.83%), and the variation coefficient of the cuticle thickness was the smallest (9.69%). (3) The contribution of each index of the spruce needle structure to stress drought resistance was: Subcortical thickness > stele area> stele thickness > needle cross-sectional area > cuticle thickness > endodermis cell length > epidermis thickness > pore number in needle cross-section > endodermis thickness. (4) The 15 spruce species were divided into four categories by cluster analysis, which reflected the differences in developmental degree of the protective tissue, nutritional tissue, and transfusion tissue of the tested plants. …”
