Taxonomic significance of transverse sections of roots of sixCitrusspecies

Transverse sections (T/S) of the roots of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle, C. grandis Osbeck, C. limon (L.) Burm.f., C. paradisii Macf., C. reticulata Blanco and C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck were investigated using standard plant anatomical procedures. The pores of roots of all the species were oval in shape.
