Abstract:
In order to know better about the hereditary and variation of the F
1 hybrid,and provide data to the new ornamental selected from the F
1 hybrids,we study the leaf anatomy and epidermal micromorphology of
Michelia crassipes(♀),
M.calcicola(
♂) and their F
1 hybrids.The parents are very different from each other in the two aspects.The phenotype of the F
1 hybrid shows continuous variation.Fifty-seven point seven percent of the hybrids have higher stoma density than the parents.The dwarf F
1 hybrids have lower stoma density which maybe means good cold resistance.The dwarf F
1 hybrids can be used as materials for the beautiful dwarf cultivars or the more cold resistant ones.
