panašované olistenie


Definition from Internet:
Okrem základnej zelene listov alebo ihličiek pôsobia dreviny i ďalšími farebnými efektmi.Základná farebnosť dreviny je daná zelenou farbou chlorofylu, ktorý sa nachádza v jej asimilačných orgánoch – listoch. Hrúbka listovej pokožky, voskový povlak na nej či porastenie hustými chĺpkami vytvárajú odtiene zelenej farby, najmä modrasté, sivé alebo belavé. Žlté a červené sfarbenie je spôsobené prítomnosťou ďalších rastlinných farbív v rastlinných orgánoch.

Example sentence(s):
  • Najvýznamnejšia je zelená alebo iná farba olistenia koruny, ktorá pôsobí ... Jestvujú však i kultivary panašované, akoby postriekané ... - Internet
