The effect of seed treatment with solutions of a purified amount of triterpene glycosides (PATG) containing, as major components, oleanolic acid glycosides – sylphiosides B, C, E, G, and extract (E) enriched with sylphiosides, from Silphium perfoliatum L. (Asteraceae) leaves on growth parameters and nitrate reductase activity (NR, EC 1.6.6.1) of 7-day winter wheat plants (Tritium aestivum L.) was studied. It was shown that, seed treatment with PATG solutions in concentrations of 0.0005 and 0.001% and E in concentrations of 0.2 and 0.4% caused an increase in the length of roots, shoots, wet and dry weight of seedlings compared to the control. The stimulating effect of these concentrations of PATG and E on the total nitrate reductase activity of the roots and leaves of seedlings has been established, and an increase in the stimulating effect of preparations on the activity NR оf against the background of substrate activation of the enzyme potassium nitrate (KNO3) was observed. The greatest increase in the total NR activity of roots and leaves of winter wheat plants was observed when PATG acted at a concentration of 0.001% and E – at a concentration of 0.4%, which amounted respectively 122 and 116%, when adding 1 ml of 50 mM KNO3 solution into the growing medium of plants – 141 and 137% relative to the control. The stimulating effect of exogenous triterpene glycosides on NR activity has been established for the first time. The obtained data allow to theoretically substantiate the possibility of practical use of triterpene glycosides and preparations based on them for the regulation of growth and nitrogen metabolism of plants.
