Poznan city - Opis:
- The paper presents the results of a biometrical study on the leaves of vegetative and generative shoots of Morus alba. Mature leaves were collected from the green areas of Poznań (Poland) city. Leaves from vegetative shoots were collected from 34 sites. Leaves from generative shoots were collected from specimens with blackish purple or purple fruit (13 trees) and with pale yellow to creamy fruit (21 trees). Eleven morphological traits were analysed in the leaves from vegetative and generative shoots, including the petiole and blade. The seven examined features were characterised by low or moderate variability and four features were characterised by high or very high variability. The research revealed slight differences between trees with blackish purple or pale yellow fruit and significant morphological differences between the leaves of vegetative and generative shoots. The article includes descriptions of quantitative features have not been published in Poland. White mulberry leaves (Morus alba) with white and dark fruit did not make clearly separated groups. Therefore, they should be treated as morphotype of cultivars rather than a distinct taxonomic rank.
