ВЛИЯНИЕ ВОДНОГО ДЕФИЦИТА НА НАКОПЛЕНИЕ САЛИДРОЗИДА И РОЗАВИНА В RHODIOLA ROSEA (CRASSULACEAE)

Effect of the water deficiency on physiological state and accumulation of salidroside and rosavine in the caudex of Rhodiola rosea L. is studied. It is shown that the species is adapted to short-term drought of middle severity causing induction of salidroside and rosavine biosynthesis. The data obtained open up possibilities for the exogeneous regulation of the accumulation of biologically active compounds in plants of R. rosea by means of water deficiency for the production of plant raw material of high quality for the pharmaceutical industry.
