Abstract

This study investigated the stomatal responses of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) to varying water, light, and soil conditions to explain how the species acclimatize to the changes in growing conditions. Seedlings were subjected to different watering regimes (daily – CON, 2 days interval – W2, 3 days interval – W3), light intensities (high, moderate, low), and soil conditions (garden soil – GS, Mt Makiling soil – MAK, UP Land Grant soil – UPL). The biomass, stomatal density (SD), epidermal cell density (ECD), stomatal index (SI), stomatal aperture length (SAL), guard cell length (GCL), stomatal area (SA), and potential conductance index (PCI) were measured across treatments. Water and light treatments had significant effects, but soil treatment did not affect most of the parameters measured. CON and/or W2 and high light intensity resulted in a higher SD, SI, SAL, and GCL, which resulted in a higher PCI, compared with the other water and light treatments. Contrarily, W3-treated seedlings had lower SD but significantly lower SAL, GCL, PCI, and aboveground biomass, compared to CON and W2-treated ones. Biomass allocation to root was also significantly higher in W3-treated seedlings. Therefore, kenaf seedlings exhibited a degree of stomatal plasticity in response to contrasting water, light, and soil conditions. Keywords: biomass allocation, potential conductance index, shade tolerance, stomatal index, water stress

Abstract

Investigating invasive species’ morphoanatomical characteristics, such as leaf area and thickness of vascular tissues and storage cells, can reveal information about their adaptive ability and competitive advantage. Thus, we analyzed the variation in leaf, stem, and root morphoanatomical structure and stomatal conductance between shaded and sun-exposed seedlings of Broussonetia papyrifera to provide insights into management strategies to control its invasive ability. The variations in leaf area (LA), Leaf Mass per Area (LMA), stomatal density, thickness of palisade and spongy mesophyll tissues, thickness of xylem parenchyma cells, diameter of all xylem vessels in stem and roots and stomatal conductance were analyzed between shaded and sun-exposed seedlings. Results revealed that the LA and LMA of B. papyrifera were significantly larger in the sun-exposed than in the shaded condition. Seedlings exposed to sunlight also had thicker palisade mesophyll and xylem parenchyma cells. The diameter of xylem vessels in roots was also significantly higher in sun-exposed seedlings. Contrarily, a reverse pattern was observed in the diameter of stem xylem vessels (i.e., shaded > sun-exposed seedlings). Physiologically, a higher stomatal conductance was also observed in sun-exposed seedlings. In conclusion, we found significant variations in leaf, stem, and root morphoanatomy and stomatal conductance between shaded and sun-exposed seedlings of B. papyrifera. The findings of the present study may provide valuable implications for managing or controlling its invasibility in the introduced range.
