[Objective]The research aimed to provid reference for classification of pomegranate cultivars and studies of genetic relationship among pomegranate cultivars.[Method]The electron microscope scanning was used to comparatively observe leaf epidermal structures of 4 pomegranate cultivars.[Result] The upper epidermal structures of 4 pomegranate cultivars were similar and showed reticular structure .However, the differences existed in lower epidermis,such as cell shape, cell size and arrangement mode of cell as well as stomatal density, while the structures of leaf vein in lower epidermis of 4 pomegranate cultivars were similar.[Conclusion]The research provided morphological references for studying heterosis of pomegranate to some extent.
