Abstract

A factorial experiment was conducted in the garden of the College of Education, University of Shabwah, during the period from August 2021 to December 2021. The aim was to study the effects of crude oil concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and the control (0%) on some morphological and anatomical traits, such as root length, stem length, leaf area, number of leaves, cuticle layer thickness, and the thickness and size of epidermal cells in the roots of Sorghum bicolor (L.), Senna alexandrina Mill, and Acacia hamulosa plants. The results were analyzed using a completely randomized block design. The findings showed that Acacia hamulosa exhibited significant differences in most studied traits. High crude oil concentrations (75% and 100%) caused significant differences in root length, number of leaves, cuticle layer thickness, and epidermal thickness in the roots.
