Abstract:Dayflower (Commelina communis L.)is one of worst weeds in soybean field in Heilongjiang Province and more difficult to control at leaf stage. Using pot experiment and paraffin section technique, we investigated the relationship between the foliar surface features and dissection structure and the tolerance to imazethapyr in different leaf stages of dayflower. The studies showed that the tolerance to imazethapyr increased with leaf stage of dayflower and there was an inflexion in 3rd leaf stage. The stomata density of epidermis decreased with leaf stage, but the thickness of foliar, palisade tissue, spongy tissue, upper epidermis, lower epidermis, and the length of 10 palisade tissue cell, compactness degree of palisade tissue increased with leaf stage. These changes of foliar surface features and leaf dissection structure are one of reasons of dayflower more tolerant to imazethapyr with leaf stage.
