Oliv. is a tree that is strongly resistant to drought and salt stress, which is primarily distributed in arid and semiarid lands. The leaves of the species exhibit a special feature that causes them to be designated as heterophylly. In this brief review, we primarily discuss the heteromorphic leaf development and anatomical features, such as the differentiation of spongy and palisade tissues, in heteromorphic leaves of the species. Furthermore, we also discuss the different physiological characteristics in heteromorphic leaves related to the ecological adaptation of to drought environments. These traits in may help researchers evaluate its ecological value in arid areas and evaluate its scientific merit in understanding the mechanism of development of heteromorphic leaves in plants.
油橄榄是一种抗旱、抗盐能力很强的树种，主要分布在干旱半干旱地区。该种的叶片具有特殊的特征，被指定为异形叶性。在这篇简短的综述中，我们主要讨论了异形叶性叶片的异形叶发育和解剖特征，如海绵组织和栅栏组织的分化。此外，我们还讨论了与适应干旱环境有关的异形叶的不同生理特征。油橄榄的这些特性可能有助于研究人员评估其在干旱地区的生态价值，并评估其在理解植物异形叶发育机制方面的科学价值。
