The surface of leaves has cuticle, which is generally shiny, and the back of leaves is densely hairy or smooth and hairless. The size, shape and color of leaves, the depth of cracks and whether the sawtooth shape is sharp are important basis for identifying grape varieties.
The function of leaves is photosynthesis, organic nutrient production, respiration and transpiration, and certain fertilizer absorption and moisture absorption. The number of leaves is closely related to fruit yield and quality.
