PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BIOTECHNOLOGICAL RAW MATERIALS OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENUS POTENTILLA L.

Abstract

The genus Potentilla (Potentilla L.) is a member of the family Rosaceae, widespread in temperate, Arctic and Alpine zones of the Northern hemisphere. The genus is known since ancient times for its healing properties. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed traditional use of the extracts of Potentilla species in various diseases. Phytochemistry representatives of Potentilla L. are poorly understood. Biotechnology for the production of renewable raw materials is only developed for Potentilla alba L.Objective – to conduct phytochemical analysis of biotechnological raw materials and Potentilla alba L. Potentilla fragarioides L., identification of features of the elemental composition and accumulation of biologically active substances in comparison with intact plants.The result of the research developed in biotechnology for the production of biomass of P. fragarioides. The evaluation of the intensity and specificity of accumulation of chemical elements in bodies of regenerated plants of P. alba from the nutrient media in tissue culture. The elements of vigorous accumulation of Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Mo Cu, and the element of a strong accumulation of Co. These features of the elemental composition of plant material P. alba, depending on the production method. Estimated purity, content of water and alcohol-soluble extractives, and certain groups of biologically active substances.It is revealed that white Potentilla and cinquefoil zemlyannikova are the hub of flavonoids and tannins. The incidences of accumulation of biologically active substances in the bloodroot zemljanichnoe exceed the targets set for the white cinquefoil, both traditional and biotechnological raw materials.
