Abstract : A comparison of leaf anatomy in Camphor and Haden mango, used as rootstock and scion, respectively, indicated that leaf anatomy was similar in both cultivars, except for the anatomical variables of stomata density and trichome density (greater in Camphor than in Haden) and leaf thickness and stomata size (greater in Haden than in Camphor).
