Description
The article presents the results of the research on the effect of processing cuttings grapes Moldova and Bianca by a growth regulator called Stimolant 66f (Stimolante 66f) on their regenerative properties, the yield and quality of seedlings. In Moldova grade, we tested three concentrations of the drug - 0.001; 0.01 and 0.1% and grade Bianca - five - - 0.001; 0.005; 0.01; 0.05 and 0.1%, compared to treatment with IAA (standard) or without treatment (control). It was found, that both types of processing cuttings with IAA led to the inhibition of blooming buds. Application of Stimolanta to both varieties accelerated blooming buds, and to the greatest extent on grade Bianca. On the variety Moldova, the processing cuttings with heteroauxin and Stimolant at 0.01 and 0.1% had an inhibitory effect on the growth of shoots, which survived to the end of the experiment. On the variety of Bianca, both the IAA and Stimolant at all concentrations of working solution contributed to a significant increase the length of the shoots. At grade Moldova, basal ends of cuttings treatment for 24 hours in solutions of Stimolanta at 0.01 and 0.1% concentration had the root-growing ability stimulated, enhanced the yield and quality of seedlings. In grade Bianca, better rooting of cuttings with 3 or more roots was observed in the variant of "Stimolant - 0.05%", and a greater number of roots were produced in the version of "Stimolant - 0.1%." In cuttings of varieties ofMoldova, Stimolant showed better results than the IAA in optimal concentrations, and grade Bianca had about the same results

PROSPECTS OF USING INVASIVE LEGUMES IN HERBAL MEDICINE
DescriptionThe authors propose to consider alien invasive species as new bioresources. These plants form powerful (usually single-species) thickets in the secondary range and their size are larger than at the native cenosis. The territory occupied by invasive species, especially in disturbed habitats, is quite high, so their possible yield is very high. The main problem of using alien species in the pharmacological purposes is the lack of information about the dynamics of the chemicals accumulation. Available data on the biochemistry in its natural habitat is inadaptable for the same taxon in the secondary range because of significant microevolutionary changes. In this work we present the results of phytochemical screening four legume species, formed invasive populations in the Middle Russia - Galega orientalis Lam., Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl., Robinia pseudoacacia L. & Caragana arborescens Lam. Information about these species as traditional medicine plants is given. Original data on the concentration phenolic compounds and biophile silicon in leaves and inflorescences are presented. Information on the fractional composition of the flavonoid complex is done. Taking into consideration the high adaptability of invasive species, the chemical analysis of the samples from different ecotypes was made. It is shown that accumulation of bioactive agents & biophile silicon isn’t depended on the environmental conditions. Concentrations of polyphenolic compounds were at the average level in comparison with medicinal plants. Thus, the combination of flavonoid complex with biophile silicon provides pharmacological significance of studied species, and justifies the needing the further study of invasive plant species in order to create new herbal medicines

INTRODUCTION OF RHODIOLA ROSEA L. IN THE CENTRAL YAKUTIA
DescriptionThe flora of Yakutia is rich in medicinal plants. Many of these plants are not still studied totally. The species Rhodiola (Crassulaceae) is one of the most popular family which are widely used by the local population for therapeutic purposes. Medicals use the rhizome and roots of Rhodiola rosea as a source of medicinal raw materials. This means the removal and destruction of plants. The procurement should be carried out solely on the basis of plants grown in culture because of the rarity and few natural reserves of the species. R. rosea L. passes a full cycle of the sprouts, blossoming and bearing fruits during the introduction in the conditions of Central Yakutia. The weather conditions of the year influence on the rate of development and growth processes very strong. The experiments determination of the germination of local reproductions were negative. The sprouts grow very good. In this case, it is good possibility of intense vegetative reproduction of Rhodiola. The evaluation of stability of introduction may be attributed to the kind of group stability. The great potential and adaptive capacity of R. rosea significantly enhances the possibility of growing this species under conditions of the Central Yakutia. It is recommended to improve and elaborate of protection of natural populations and unique plant communities
