This paper describes the effects of short-term water deficiency on the basic leaf anatomical characteristics in 10 genotypes of sugar beet. Thickness of leaf, palisade and spongy tissue have significantly increased in 5 genotypes and significantly decreased in the other 2. Changes in thickness of leaf, palisade and spongy mesophyll are the result of changes in cell dimensions and not of changes in number of tissue cells layers. Short-term water deficit had less effect on genotypes in which leaf tissue thickness decreased or slightly increased upon drought.
