Introduction Leaves are the most significant photosynthetic tissue for the majority plants and play a crucial role in response to biotic and abiotic disturbances. Leaf shape is seen as one of the most variable and distinct plant traits‚ and variation of leaf morphology can exist among species‚ populations and individuals‚ and within individuals. Because leaves are critical to plant growth and survival‚ it is assumed that the variation in leaf shape represents an adaptive consequence caused by natural

changing the orientation of the cylinder onto which the map is projected‚ successive swaths of relatively undistored regions can be created. This is exactly what the UTM system does. Each of these swaths is called a UTM zone and is six degrees of longitude wide. The first zone begins at the International Date Line (180°‚ using the geographic coordinate system). The zones are numbered from west to east‚ so zone 2 begins at 174°W and extends to 168°W. The last zone (zone 60) begins at 174°E and extends
