Diagnostic signs of aboveground and underground organs of Ferula Tenuisecta Korov. in natural conditions

Abstract

This study presents a pioneering investigation into the anatomical composition of both above-ground and underground organs, including leaves, petioles, peduncles, pedicels, and roots of Ferula tenuisecta, within their natural ecological habitats. Notably, this research delves into the schizogenic type of tissue development found in the peduncle and root, elucidating its intricate connection to the robustness of the organ, which, in turn, aligns with the plant’s distinct life form. The data gleaned from this study highlights distinctive and species-specific structural diagnostic attributes inherent in the above-ground and underground components of Ferula tenuisecta. These attributes carry significant potential for utilization in botanical systematics and the accurate identification of plant specimens within this species. Moreover, these findings have implications beyond taxonomy, as the revealed structural traits serve as valuable tools for detecting and assessing the presence of biologically active compounds within different organs and tissues. By shedding light on the intricate anatomical architecture of Ferula tenuisecta’s various organs, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the plant’s ecological adaptations and offers practical avenues for its systematic characterization and potential applications in the realm of biologically active substances research.
