Abstract

Fabaceae is one of the largest families of angiosperms, it occurs in almost all countries and has about 650 genus and 18,000 species. In Brazil there are 200 genus and about 1500 species. This family comprises species Glycine max L. which is known for its extensive use in the food and biofuel production. Soybean is a culture with large production and presents a grain with high levels of protein, oil, fiber and iron. The objective of this study is to analyze the morphology and anatomy of the leaves of Glycine max emphasizing the morphological and physiological changes on the leaf because of the applications of different doses of glyphosate. Leaves of three different Glycine max plants of will be collected from a controlled experiment done in a greenhouse. After being collected, samples of leaves will be fixed, dehydrated, embedded in synthetic resin and sectioned for mounting histological slides and subsequent anatomical analysis. The material will then be photographed by a trinocular microscope to present the results and description of anatomical structures analyzed. (AU)
