Effects of ploidy level on leaf morphology, stomata, and anatomical structure of Hibiscus syriacus L.
This study highlights the impact of varying ploidy levels on the leaf and stomatal morphologies and leaf anatomy of Hibiscus syriacus. These findings can provide theoretical guidance for improving Hibiscus cultivars in terms of stress resistance, adaptability, and ornamental traits, and for developing new cultivars with enhanced characteristics. Future research should focus on utilizing these morphological markers to optimize breeding strategies for Hibiscus cultivars.
