Influence of ambrosia herbicides treatment on the composition of surface waxes of the next generation plants

Abstract

In vegetative experiment the peculiarities of hydrocarbons composition of the leaves surface waxes of Ambrosia artemisifolia grown out of seeds from control plants and ones treated by herbicides were studied. The substantial increase of high-molecular hydrocarbons but reduction of low-molecular constituents are established. The dependence of hydrocarbonscomposition changeson the influence of particular herbicides and its combinations is revealed. The enhancing of protective properties of juvenile ambrosia’s surface waxesin consequence of revealed changesis supposed.
