Abstract
Effect of everbearing mango (cv. Choke Anan) rootstock on stomatal density of the scions: Pim Sen Mun, Khiew Sawoey, and Nam Dok Mai, comparing with the Kaew rootstock and Choke Anan on Kaew were studied at Chiang Mai University during February to April 2000, by Silicone rubber impression technique. The results showed that Pim Sen Mun on Choke Anan gave the highest stomatal density, followed by Nam Dok Mai on Choke Anan, Choke Anan on Kaew, Pim Sen Mun on Kaew, Nam Dok Mai on Kaew, Khiew Sawoey on Choke Anan and Khiew Sawoey on Kaew respectively. Comparing between both rootstocks Choke Anan gave higher stomata density than Kaew in all scions with statistical significant difference. While among the three scions, Pim Sen Mun and Nam Dok Mai had numbers of stomata almost the same but more than Khiew Sawoey with statistical significant differences at 95% confidence. It can be concluded that Choke Anan rootstock had influenced on the scions to gave more stomatal density than Kaew rootstock.
