Chloroplast dimorphism in leaves of Cabomba caroliniana (Cabombaceae)
Cabomba Aublet is useful as a genetic model of angiosperm evolution. Previous anatomical studies and preliminary light microscopic observations on C. caroliniana A Gray revealed the presence of dimorphic chloroplasts in both types of leaves, floating and submerged leaves. Leaf anatomy and chloroplas...
