TO THE QUESTION OF PHENOLOGY OF СONVALLARIA MAJALIS L. IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE MIDDLE DON
DescriptionFor the conservation of biodiversity, this study of patterns of biological processes and phases in the development of Convallaria majalis L. that are repeated annually becomes actual. In the article, we have presented an analysis of five years of observations of the rhythm of the development of Convallaria majalis L. in the conditions of the middle Don. There were allocated phenological phases of lily of the valley: vegetative (beginning of sprout growth, deploying of leaves), bud formation, flowering (disclosure of the first flower, mass blossoming, the withering of separate flowers, the ending of flowering), fruitage (the beginning of fruit setting, mass of fruit setting, mass ripening of fruits), the end of the vegetation (appearance of the first changes in color of leaves, the complete drying). We have defined daily average temperature and the appropriate amount of positive temperatures for the passage of various phases of development Convallaria majalis L. By the results of two growing seasons, the optimal daily average temperature for the flowering period is 14,3 ° C (the sum of average daily temperatures 161,3-204, 0С) - until 9-15 days. At higher daily air temperatures flowering begins at lower amount of positive and effective temperatures after 40-45 days after the start of the vegetation. At lower daily air temperatures flowering is longer than at higher. In the conditions of the middle Don there were allocated some examples of Convallaria majalis L. which bloom two years in a row

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DYURSO RIVER ICHTHYOCENOSIS
DescriptionIn the article we have described the history of the studies and the modern features of fish community of the Black sea's river Durso (the length 14 km). It was established, that in present time the river includes only seven species of fishes from three ecological groups: freshwater (five species), saltwater (one specie) and marine (one specie). A bleack (Alburnus alburnus) and Colchis minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus colchicus) dominate by quantity in the structure of Durso river fish community, bleack and Prussian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) dominate by biomass. The negative changes of Durso river conditions were found in compare with the last years. First of all, it appears in biological pollution of fish species allochthonous for this river. In the period of the Durso river monitoring (1935–2014) it was established the distinct raise of allochthonous components with parallel reduce of variety of autochthonous fresh waters rheophilic species. The main reason is the building of reservoir in upper flow of the Durso river in 1976. The additional negative factor influence on of the Durso river fish community is the falling down of the water level during the important period of fish lifecycle. The best condition of fish community is in the middle part of the river were reaches combine with the cold springs and powerful flow

CATALOGING IMAGES OF DANDELION (TARAXACUM OFFICINALE WIGG.) WITH FASCIATION
DescriptionThe phenomenon of fasciation on the example of a higher plant called “Taraxacum officinale Wigg” has been considered. The effect of fasciation on the various particularities of plants has been shown. There are numerous examples of the different fasciation types of present plant’s type which are growing in different ecological areas. We have demonstrated that the phenomenon of fasciation exists in natural populations and in areas with development pressures, and it may occur after mechanical damage to plants of Taraxacum officinale. In most cases, fasciation is regarded as an exceptional phenomenon. A number of authors have distinguished fasciation to non-inheritable and inheritable. The first is the influence of external factors such as insect damage, injury, weather conditions. The second is caused by internal reasons. The number of regularities was installed that the reproductive bodies of plants are more often fascinated, and thermophilic forms are more likely to have fasciation. Photographic images of various types of fasciation, patterns and diagrams are given. Fasciation can be considered as a marker because of the connection of this phenomenon with the violation of the ecological situation. Plants with morphoses including ones with fasciation of individual organs, can act as indicators of pollution of the natural environment. Thus, the phenomenon of fasciation affects many areas of science, such as ecology, morphogenesis, genetic monitoring. The possibility of studying the phenomenon of fasciation on a model object of dandelion is shown. As a methodical approach to the study of this phenomenon, it is proposed to create a database of images, in this way it would be cataloging the image

WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT AND BIOTA IN THE VILUY REGION
DescriptionNumerous revealed negative impacts of the diamond industry and Vilyuiskaya HPP on the aquatic environment and biological objects are more expressed in the change of the hydrochemical regime in water basin of Viluy and as its consequence - in violation of the structural and functional nature of the components of aquatic biota; in the change of he average biomass and abundance of planktonic populations (phytoplankton and zooplankton) and benthic organisms, and in general - in the change of the flow energy in an aquatic ecosystem

CLONE SELECTION – THE MODERN BASE FOR RAISING GRAPE PRODUCTION
DescriptionThe clone selection has very outstanding position behind the actual problems of modern viticulture in the world and in our country. This problem usually has the primary importance behind the scientist who works with grape in all the countries such as USA, German, French, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Moldavia, Ukraine and etc. In our country last years some positions becomes solving in the plane of scientific research work. Consequently, in the article the history and the situation of clone selection of grape on the Eurasian continent is widely covered.

Description
The article discusses the formation of the collection that includes the most numerous genus Pelargonium (L.Herit.) from the family Geraniaceae Juss, as well as its importance, and the prospects for replenishing and use. There is also analysis of the publications for the recent years, clarifying approaches and principles in classifying the representatives of this species. The collection of Russian Research Institute of Floriculture and Subtropical Crops is described, taking into account new palynological and cytogenetic criteria in pelargoniums section division. It is represented by more than 120 species, cultivars, as well as intravarietal and interspecific hybrids and is divided into three branches (A, B, C2), three subgenus (Pelargonium. Parvulipetala, Paucisignata) and five sections (Pelargonium, Otidia, Peristera., Reniformia Ciconium). Collection samples are included to the breeding research, as sources of economic features when creating highly-ornamental hybrids and cultivars. The work also studies possible using of the most adapted species, cultivars and hybrids in urban landscaping on the Black Sea coast
