CHE SIGNIFICA LEAF IN INGLESE

Foglia

Leaf

Una foglia è un organo di una pianta vascolare, ed è l'appendice principale del gambo vegetale vascolare. Le foglie e lo stelo insieme formano il tiro. Il fogliame è un sostantivo di massa che si riferisce alle foglie collettivamente. Tipicamente una foglia è un sottile organo dorsiventrally appiattito, sopportato su terra e specializzato in fotosintesi. La maggior parte delle foglie presenta superfici superiori e inferiori distintive che differiscono dal colore, dalla pelose, dal numero di stomata e da altre caratteristiche. La mezofilizia palisadata si verifica quasi sempre sul lato superiore della lama o lamina della foglia, ma in alcune specie, tra cui il fogliame maturo della palizzata di eucalipto si verifica su entrambi i lati e le foglie si dicono essere isobilateral. Molti tipi di foglie sono adattati in modi quasi irriconoscibili in quei termini: alcuni non sono piatti, alcuni non sono al di sopra del suolo, e alcuni non hanno una funzione fotosintetica importante. Inoltre, diversi tipi di strutture a foglia che si trovano nelle piante vascolari non sono totalmente omologhe con loro. Esempi includono phyllodes, cladodes e phylloclades che differiscono dalle foglie nella loro struttura e origine.

A leaf is an organ of a vascular plant, and is the principal appendage of the vascular plant stem. The leaves and stem together form the shoot. Foliage is a mass noun that refers to leaves collectively. Typically a leaf is a thin, dorsiventrally flattened organ, borne above ground and specialized for photosynthesis. Most leaves have distinctive upper and lower surfaces that differ in colour, hairiness, the number of stomata and other features. The palisade mesophyll almost always occurs on the upper side of the blade or lamina of the leaf but in some species, including the mature foliage of Eucalyptus palisade occurs on both sides and the leaves are said to be isobilateral. Many types of leaves are adapted in ways almost unrecognisable in those terms: some are not flat, some are not above ground, and some are without major photosynthetic function. Furthermore, several kinds of leaf-like structures found in vascular plants are not totally homologous with them. Examples include phyllodes, cladodes, and phylloclades that differ from leaves in their structure and origin.
