INVESTIGATION OF THE BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION IN THE LEAVES OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GENUS HEMEROCALLIS L. IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CITIES OF THE NOVOSIBIRSK REGION

Abstract

The article analyzes for the first time the comparative results of determination of ash content, sulfur, ascorbic acid, and tannins in leaves of representatives of the genus Hemerocallis L. under conditions of cities and settlements of Novosibirsk region – Berdsk, Yevsino, Koltsovo. Changes in the quantitative content of these compounds depending on the growing conditions were revealed. In the urbanized environment, there was a trend towards an increase (by 1.5–2 times) in the ash content in the leaves of H. fulva and in the studied varieties (Speak to Me, Luxury Lace, Green Wood Hall, President Marcus, Goi) relative to the control. The predominant amount of ash was found in the leaves of daylily varieties growing in the central part of the city of Berdsk and the urban-type settlement of Koltsovo compared to the district settlement of Evsino. Among the dominant species and varieties on the accumulation of ash content in leaves were determined H. fulva>Goi>Luxury Lace>President Marcus >Speak to Me>Green Wood Hall (Koltsovo); Speak to Me>Luxury Lace>H. fulva>Janke Clipper (Berdsk); Speak to Me>H. fulva>Luxury Lace (Evsino). Species- and variety-specificity of accumulating ability of ash, sulfur, ascorbic acid, and tannins in lily leaf in urban environment was determined. Species- and variety-specificity of ash content, sulfur, ascorbic acid, and tannins accumulation ability by daylily leaf in urban environment was determined.
