Environmental Pollution: Leaf Cuticular Patterns in Trifolium pratense L.

Abstract
Red clover populations collected from the polluted environments of Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville (Tennessee) showed decreased floral production, low stomatal frequency, high trichome density, and longer trichomes. The results for plant population collected from a less polluted, rural Reelfoot Lake area were quite the opposite. Subsidiary cell complex remained the same in all the populations, while stomatal size range showed little variation.
