Abstract

The phenotypic plasticity is one of plant ecology central themes. It requires further development. An estimation of connection between acclimatization successes of 15 Ficus L. species and differences in anatomical construction of their sun and shade leaves was performed in this work. It was evaluated that plasticity amplitudes are connected negatively with adaptive potentials in most cases. It is most likely that observed anatomical variability is passive and it has not adaptive value. Reciprocal resizing of palisade mesophyll and adaxial epidermis can have a positive influence on effectiveness of a light energy capture by leaf in the variable environment
