Morphological and biochemical characteristics of Dendranthema zawadskii growing on industrial dumps and in introduction (Middle Ural)

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of Dendranthema zawadskii (Herb.) Tzvel., growing on the dumps of the Anatol-Shilovsky asbestos deposits and on experimental plots in the botanical garden of the Ural Federal University. The morphological characteristics of generative individuals, the quality and germination of seeds has been investigated. It has been shown that plants introduced into the Middle Urals region are characterized by high ornamental properties and good seed and vegetative propagation. In the leaves and inflorescences of D. zawadskii plants, both in anthropogenically disturbed habitats and in botanical garden, biological active substances such as phenols, flavonoids and ascorbic acid accumulated.
