Abstract
In this study we analyzed the effect of gender on leaf morphology of Ceratoniasiliqua L. in Cheurfa strand (Tigzirt, Tizi-ouzou). We assessed various morphological characters of male and female leaves (leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, rachis length, number of leaflets, basal leaflet length, basal leaflet width, terminal leaflet length, terminal leaflet width, specific leaflet weight) and micro-morphological trait (number of stomata per mm square). The statistical analysis (ANOVA) showed significant difference between males and females in the number of stomata. Female trees have higher number of stomata than male trees. However we didn’t find significant differences in the other leaf traits.
