Studying Althaea officinalis L. by an introduction experiment in the Kuzbass Botanical Garden (KuzBS)
Abstract
Althaea officinalis L. was studied in the Kuzbass Botanical Garden. It’s a perennial herbaceous plant, that is included in the Red Book of the Kemerovo Region with the status 2 - declining. During the first year of life, the following ontogenetic stages are recognized under introduction conditions: seedling, juvenile, immature, virginile, and young generative. A semi-rosette orthotropic monocarpic shoot, branching in a sylleptic way, and a caudex emerge in the first year. In pregenerative plants, there is an increase in ascorbic acid but a decrease in the activity of phenolic compounds and malonic dialdehyde; in generative plants, there is an inverse link.
