Effect of Soil Salinity on External Morphology of Cotton Leaves1

Harold W. Gausman and Ruben Cardenas2

Fourth leaves from the apex of cotton plants were sampled in a field containing areas of low and high levels of soil salinity. Microscopic examination revealed that high salinity caused fewer epidermal cells and stomata per unit area, increased surface size of epidermal cells, and increased leaf thickness.

Key Words: remote sensing • stomata • epidermal cells
