dc.description.abstractThe leaf and stem anatomical characteristics of Governor's Plum play a crucial role in its ability to thrive in specific environments. These traits also have significant implications for the plant's photosynthesis potential. Additionally, the fiber morphological properties are important in determining the quality and properties of wood, as well as assessing the suitability of the lignocellulosic material for production. This study aimed to examine and compare the leaf and stem anatomy, as well as wood fiber morphology, of Governor's Plum collected from different elevations. The research was conducted at the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-North La Union Campus from February 2023 to March 2023. The results revealed that there were significant differences in leaf and stem anatomy among the different elevation ranges. Each sample exhibited an increasing or decreasing trend in the measured parameters. This indicates that Governor's Plum possesses anatomical and morphological adaptability, allowing it to adjust to environmental changes at varying elevations. However, the wood fiber did not show significant variation across different elevation ranges. Nevertheless, specific fiber characteristics such as diameter, lumen diameter, slenderness ratio, runkel ratio, and relative density exhibited significant variation at different elevations. However, no consistent pattern or trend was observed in the derived values. At higher elevations, Governor's Plum exhibited a larger diameter, which enhances its resistance to wind and makes its wood more suitable for various uses, such as in wood utensils. Based on the fiber morphology results, Governor's Plum is relatively not favorable for pulp and paper production.
