Dorsiventral Leaf, Isobilateral and Centric Leaf | Plants

The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between dorsiventral leaf, Isobilateral leaf and centric leaf. Difference # Dorsiventral Leaf: 1. Internally the leaf is differentiated into upper and lower epidermis and mesophyll, which lies in between the two epider­mises. 2. The distribution of stomata is usually restricted to lower epidermis. 3. Mesophyll is composed, of palisade and spongy [...]
