Anatomy and histochemistry of structures producing aroma in leaves of Sygyzium aromaticum (L.) Merr. and Clausena excavata Burm. f.

Anatomical and histochemical studies on leaves of Syzygium aromaticum and Clausena excavata have been carried out. This study was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between aroma production and a plant's secretory structures. Leaves from the two tropical aromatic plants were sam...
