GROWTH AND BIOSYNTHESIS OF ECDYSTEROIDS IN Rhaponticum carthamoides (Willd.) Iljin UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF EDAPHIC FACTORS

N.P. Timofeev

The growth processes in Rhaponticum carthamoides (Willd.) Iljin in the conditions of Arkhangel’skaya oblast’ and their link with a biosynthesis ecdysteroids are investigated. The environmental factors limiting growth of propagules (a range of growth responses to light exposure, temperature and humidity), resistance to the low and negative temperatures, and influence of stressful factors on synthesis and accumulation of ecdysteroids in leaves organs are established.

Key words: Rhaponticum carthamoides, Leuzea, environmental factors, growth of propagules, stress, biosynthesis ecdysteroids.
