Abstract. The purpose of the research is to consider the patterns of water regime of plants in dry conditions, depending on changes in environmental conditions and plant physiology. The objectives of the research included: identifying abilities of Poaceae family herbs (Festuca pratensis, Bromus inermis L., Agropyron cristatum L., Agropyrum Gaertn.) introduced into crops on the vegetation sites of the lysimetric complex of the Federal Science Center of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Volgograd) to sustainability in adverse environmental conditions. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The study contributes to the solution of issues of effective prediction of the productivity of forage grasses, since water-regime patterns of growth and development of vegetation must be taken into account when developing optimal growing methods. Methods. The determination of the water-holding capacity of herbs was carried out according to the Arlanda method and is based on taking into account the water loss by plants. The intensity of transpiration was determined by the method of fast weighing the selected sheet of L. А. Ivanov. A description of the mechanism of water retention by plants with an increase in drought is given. Results. As a result, it has been established that perennial grasses of the family Poaceae have a high potential for resistance to soil and atmospheric drought. The largest water retention capacity is: Bromus inermis L. (87.8%), Agropyrum Gaertn. (87.1 %) and Agropyron cristatum L. (87.0 %). The ability to change water retention capacity can be viewed not only as an adaptive function in changing environmental conditions, but also as a dynamic process that characterizes the natural course of the metabolism of cells and tissues during ontogenesis. Indicators of transpiration intensity in species of the Poaceae family usually reach a maximum up to high midday temperatures. The highest rates were found in Bromus inermis L. and Agropyrum Gaertn., for which in the morning they reached 1.41–1.42 g/dm2-h.

Retention Capacity

A functional description of the hydrophysical properties of the soil as a capillary-porous medium is presented. The described functions of water retention capacity and hydraulic conductivity of the soil have common parameters, which are interpreted within the framework of physical and statistical concepts. The practical significance of the proposed functions lies in the fact that the volume of labor-intensive field measurements necessary, for example, for modeling the dynamics of soil moisture, is significantly reduced. To identify the parameters of these functions, it is sufficient to use data only on the water retention capacity of the soil. The parameters identified in this way can be used to predict the ratio of the hydraulic conductivity of the soil to the moisture filtration coefficient. The presented system of the hydrophysical functions of the soil is compared with world analogues using literature data on soils of different texture.

Abstract. Purpose. Study of the effect of anti-stress adaptogens on the water regime of some varieties of chrysanthemum in the conditions of the Bashkir Pre-Urals. Methodology and methods. The analysis of indicators of water regime is based on the method of artificial wilting (V. N. Tarenkov, L. N. Ivanova) and the method of saturation of plant samples (V. P. Moiseev, N. P. Reshetskiy). Plants were processed once, and samples were taken in three terms. Calculations were carried out by standard methods using statistical packages of the Microsoft Excel 2003 and the Agros 2.13. Results. The dynamics of indicators of the water regime during the treatment with the preparations “Gumi-20” and “Oberig” is analyzed. An assessment of the total water content, water retention capacity, daily moisture loss and water deficit of ten varieties of chrysanthemum bred by the South-Ural Botanical Garden-Institute of UFRC RAS (SUBGI UFRC RAS) in the period under study is given. Studies have shown that varieties of chrysanthemum in the Bashkir Ural under the same soil-climatic and agrotechnical conditions had the following indicators: total water content ‒ 69.4–86.9 %, water-holding capacity ‒ 25.6–53.8 %, daily moisture loss ‒ 17.2–61.0 %, water deficit ‒ 10.9–13.2 %. The use of anti-stress adaptogens did not have a significant effect on the parameters of the water regime, or their effect was variety-specific. As a result of the correlation-regression analysis, inverse relationships were revealed between the indicators of water deficit and the total water content, as well as between the daily water loss and water retention capacity. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the water regime of varieties of chrysanthemum of the SUBGI UFRC RAS selection was studied, the dependences of the water regime indicators were revealed, and the assessment of the expediency of using anti-stress adaptogens for certain varieties in the conditions of the Bashkir Pre-Urals was given.

The article presents the results of a study of the parameters of the water regime of irises of the subgenus Xyridion introduced in the Southern Urals (Iris graminea, I. halophila, I. halophila var. sogdiana, I. notha, I. orientalis, I. spuria, I. spuria subsp. carthaliniae, I. spuria subsp. musulmanica) in comparison with local species (I. sibirica, I. pseudacorus, I. pumila). The experiments were carried out on the basis of the laboratory of introduction and selection of flower plants of the South-Ural Botanical Garden-Institute of Ufa Federal Research Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences. The objects of the study were different ecological groups of plants in relation to water ‒ hydrophytes, mesophytes and xeromesophytes. The water deficit of leaves and accompanying characteristics (relative turgescence) were determined by saturation of plant samples according to methodological guidelines; water retention capacity, tissue hydration and the level of daily water loss were determined by artificial wilting. The obtained results characterize the peculiarities of the water regime of irises and indicate significant interspecific differences. It was revealed that the flora of the Republic of Bashkortostan contains plants both with a wide range of variability of water retention capacity (I. pumila) and with a fairly conservative one (I. pseudacorus, I. sibirica). Both strategies are successful in the continental climate of the Southern Urals. Introduced taxa of the subgenus Xyridion also keep to a particular strategy and it can be considered an indicator of successful introduction. It is shown that local species of irises do not form a water deficit in conditions of excessive moisture, while 6 taxa of the subgenus Xyridion have an average level of water deficit. According to the sum of indicators, the studied taxa belong to the groups with medium and high stability of the water regime due to low water deficit, high water retention capacity and hydration. These parameters are found in various combinations and sustain the stability of the water regime of cultivars. The studied physiological indicators can be used to assess the success of introduction in comparison with local control species.

Using Data

A description of five mathematical models of the water-retention capacity of soil is given, taking into account the hysteresis phenomena. A computational experiment was carried out with these models using data on sandy soil. The experiment consisted of: (i) tuning of the models (parameter identification) by the method of dot-approximation of experimental data on the main drying and wetting branches of the hysteresis loop using an optimizing algorithm; (ii) the predictive calculation of the scanning branches of the hysteresis loop; (iii) a comparison of the errors in tuning results and the predictive calculation using the Williams-Kloot criteria. The commensurate and sufficiently low errors in the adjustment of the models have been achieved. The differences in the calculation of the scanning hysteresis branches are revealed. The practical significance of the mathematical models presented is to ensure the calculation of precision irrigation rates. The application of such rates in irrigation farming will help to prevent excess moisture from flowing beyond the root layer of the soil under the influence of gravity and, thus, to minimize the losses (unproductive consumption) of irrigation water, fertilizers, meliorants and plant protection products, and also reduce the risk of groundwater contamination with agrochemicals and eutrophication of water bodies.

The paper studies the water regime of panicle hydrangea and 16 varieties of this species introduced into South-Ural Botanical Garden-Institute of the Ufa Federal Research Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences. The purpose of the work is a comparative assessment of hydrangea varieties resistance to drought and the identification of the most promising taxa suitable for cultivation in the Bashkir Cis-Urals. The study assesses the total moisture content, water retention capacity and the content of mobile moisture in hydrangea leaves for the growing season. It has been found that the total moisture content (water content in the tissues) of panicle hydrangea leaves and its varieties is quite high and ranges from 72 to 82%. Certain varieties (Bobo, Levana, Phantom, PrimWhite, Silver Dollar, Sandy Fraise, Unique) have an ability to increase water retention during flowering. The following varieties are most adapted to dry periods under growing conditions in the forest-steppe zone of the Bashkir Urals: Kyushu, Prim White and Wims Red, the least drought-resistant ones are Tardiva, Sandy Fraise and Praecox; the other 10 varieties are classified as hydrangeas with medium drought resistance. H. paniculata has average values for all parameters of the water regime and their value does not depend on the phenophase.

The objective of this study was to evaluate, from a technological and nutritional point of view, the chemical composition and functional properties of the industrial winemaking by-products, namely skins, stems and lees. The chemical and physical characteristics, as well as the functional properties (fat and water retention and swelling capacity, antioxidant capacity, and their prebiotic effect), of the dietary fibre of these by-products were studied. The results showed that the skins, stems, and lees are rich in fibre, with the stem fibre containing the highest amounts of non-extractable polyphenols attached to polysaccharides with high antioxidant activity and prebiotic effect. Lee fibre had the highest water retention capacity and oil retention capacity. The results reveal that winemaking by-products could be used as a source of dietary fibre with functional characteristics for food applications.

Epiphyte Species

The diversity, abundance and frequency of vascular epiphytes on the lower trunk were compared between two host groups of a Mexican cloud forest: angiosperm trees (n = 72) and tree ferns (n = 28). The bark of the five most frequent host trees and the root mantle of the two tree ferns were analysed for their thickness, water content, water retention capacity and pH. A total of 55 epiphyte species and 910 individuals were found on the 27 host species. On hosts with a dbh range of 5–10 cm, epiphytes were significantly more diverse (4.3±0.9 species per host) and more abundant (12.5±2.2 individuals per host) on tree ferns than on angiosperm trees (1.9±0.2 species per host and 3.9±0.6 individuals per host). However, these differences were not significant for the dbh class of 10–20 cm, because epiphyte numbers increased on angiosperm trees with larger host size, but not in tree ferns. Most epiphyte species had no preference for any host group, but four species were significantly more frequent on tree ferns and two species on angiosperm trees. The higher epiphyte diversity and abundance on tree fern trunks of the smallest dbh class is attributed to their presumably greater age and to two stem characteristics, which differed significantly between host groups, the thicker root mantle and higher water retention capacity of tree ferns. These bark characteristics may favour germination and establishment of epiphytes.

Malva Parviflora

The aim of the present research was to determine the effect of boiling on nutritional composition, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, physicochemical and morphological characteristics of two edible plants Malva parviflora (mallow leaf) and Myrtillocactus geometrizans (garambullo flower). The plants had an important nutritional composition as carbohydrates (48-70 %), dietary fiber (36-42 %) and protein (13 %), as well as total phenolic compounds (468-750 mg GAE/100 g db) with a high antioxidant capacity. However, boiling originated the decrease of soluble compounds, carbohydrates, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity and physicochemical properties. Plants changed to dark colors and physicochemical properties were affected, except to water retention capacity, oil retention capacity and viscosity, which had the same values in mallow leaves (raw and boiled), but increased water retention capacity in garambullo flowers, it may be by changes in the morphology observed. Therefore, is to suggest the raw consumption or with minimal cooking of these plants to avoid changes caused by thermal treatment.
