The almost glabrous beech leaves revealed a greater predisposition to developing macroscopic necrotic lesions than the pubescent holm oak leaves. This response is due primarily to their different morpho-anatomical structure, rather than to a difference in the synthesis of UV-B absorbing pigments (flavonoids); the response was also accompanied by microscopically observable alterations (collapse of epidermal cells, fusion of surface wax structures, structural damage to the stomata) and by the reduction of stomatal conductance</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
