The study of coastal and aquatic tropical flora as part of the conservation of world biodiversity is the main purpose of research in botanical gardens. Conservation of plant collections involves a continuous process of plant reproduction. This means searching for ways of reproduction that are most effective for a particular group of plants and optimal timing of obtaining adult specimens. Generally accepted methods for seed (T. A. Rabotnov) and vegetative reproduction were used; for Nymphaea x daubeniana (viviparous water lily) was used the Sean Stevenson method. During 2017-2020 in the Stavropol Botanical Garden was conducted an experiment to study the reproduction of tropical water lilies in protected ground conditions. An artificial pond with a water mirror area of 85 m2 is located in a greenhouse, heated from October to April. Cross-pollination occurs during the mass flowering period (June-July, with illumination up to 93.5•103 kilolux), seed maturation occurs within 58±4 days, and seedlings bloom in 7-8 months. The moderate correlation was established between the soil composition and the intensity of flowering (p < 0.4) and the formation of nodules (p < 0.4). The absence or short flowering of water lily varieties and the mass of nodules (150-300 g) contributes to the formation of more planting material (up to 12 or more pieces). The vegetation period for 99% of the studied plants is 1478±26 days, for the species Nymphaea gigantea it is 887±15 days. Regardless of the species and variety of tropical water lilies, reproduction by daughter nodules formed at the base of the main tuber occurs throughout the growing season.

This study provides the analysis of drought conditions of vegetation period in 1982-2014 year in two Lithuanian regions: Kaunas and Telšiai. To identify drought conditions the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was applied. SPI was calculated using the long-term precipitation record of 1982–2014 with in-situ meteorological data. Calculation step of SPI was taken 1 month considering only vegetation period (May, June, July, August, September). The purpose of investigation was to evaluate the humidity/aridity of vegetation period and find out the probability of droughts occurrence under Lithuanian climatic conditions. It was found out that according SPI results droughts occurred in 14.5 % of all months in Kaunas region and in 15.8 % in Telšiai region. Wet periods in Kaunas region occurred in 15.8 %, and in Telšiai region occurrence of wet periods was – 18.8 % from all evaluated months. According SPI evaluation near normal were 69.7 % of total months during period of investigation in Kaunas and respectively – 65.5 % in Telšiai. The probability for extremely dry period under Lithuania climatic conditions are pretty low – 3.0 % in middle Lithuania and 2.4 % in western part of Lithuania.

Nymphaea Odorata

In interspecific hybridizations of water lily (Nymphaea), the existence of cross barriers makes it difficult to obtain hybrids and seriously influences the utilization of admirable characters from tropical water lilies. To determine the causes, pollen viability, pistil receptivity, and embryo and endosperm development were investigated in three water lily crosses, including Nymphaea odorata ‘Peter Slocum’ × Nymphaea micranthar (PM), ‘Peter Slocum’ × Nymphaea gigantea (PH), and ‘Peter Slocum’ × Nymphaea colorata (PC). The results indicated that the viability of pollen grains was 17.3% for ‘Peter Slocum’, 19.3% for N. colorata, 10.3% for N. micrantha, and 17.6% for N. gigantea. In the self-pollinated ‘Peter Slocum’, the number of germinated pollen grains on stigmas peaked at 12 hours after pollination (HAP), indicating its good pollen germinability. However, only a few pollen grains germinating on the sigma between 2 and 24 HAP in the crosses of PM, PH, and PC. In addition, a high percentage (81.2%) of normal embryos developed to different stages within 20 d after pollination in the self-pollinated ‘Peter Slocum’. But only 3.5% and 3.7% of normal globular embryos were observed in the PC and PM combinations, respectively. Moreover, no normal embryos were observed in the PH cross. At the same time, no seeds were obtained in PM, PC, and PH crosses. The results suggest that prefertilization barriers existed in the PH cross, whereas pre- and postfertilization barriers existed together in the PC and PM crosses. These may be the main causes resulting in the failure of interspecific hybridizations in water lily.

The results of the study of biomorphological features of species of the family Haloragaceae are presented. The Haloragaceae family includes 9 genera and about 130 species. Their distribution in natural conditions is discussed. Introduced family members are represented by three genera and six species. By its biomorphological feature they are perennial, rarely annual coastal-aquatic, marshy, aquatic, herbaceous plants. The life form – aerohydatophytes, hemicryptophytes. Native species of the genus Myriophyllum live in fresh, slow-flowing, almost stagnant reservoirs, and several species reach the coastal habitats. They are very sensitive to water temperature and less to light. The most common type of pollination is anemophily (with wind), entomophily (insect pollination) and autogamy (self-pollination) are also observed (very rare). There are individual populations that have the entire sterile flowers. For the members of the genus vegetative reproductions – with stems and turions, are peculiar. There is a clear correlation between the generative and vegetative reproduction of representatives of the genus Myriophyllum, which is related to the peculiarity of reproduction, the less seeds are formed in plants, the more turions are formed. When growing the representatives of the genus Myriophyllum, it is impossible to plant them at the depth at once. First they are kept in flooded areas of the shore, then, gradually, transferred to deeper sections of the reservoir. Myriophyllum thicket play a very important role in the life of freshwater reservoirs: they have the largest concentration of small invertebrates, which are the main food for the inhabitants of the reservoir, fish deposit the eggs on leaves, and later the fry hide there. Plants of the genus Myriophyllum have important fodder value, they are collected for fattening the waterbirds and fish, and also used as silage. The possibilities of their use in the conditions of introduction of open and protected soil are presented. Care and breeding methods have been developed in the moderate zone of Ukraine. Key words: Haloragaceae, range, introduction, biomorphological features.

A brief description of three North-American species of rowan trees from the collection of the South-Ural Botanical Garden-Institute of Ufa Federal Research Centre of Russian Academy of Sciences (UFRC RAS): Sorbus decora, Sorbus americana and Sorbus scopulina is given. The climatic conditions of introduction area are similar in temperature to the parameters of the natural range of the North American S. decora: they are not optimal for it, but the plants bloom and give viable seeds. It can be assumed that vital signs of S. decora would be higher in milder climate and favorable water-physical soil conditions. According to the analysis of variance, it is revealed that the conditions of the year and species characteristics significantly affect all the phenological phases of development of North American rowan trees. At the same time, they are more dependent on the temperature conditions of the year (F=17.4 at p<0.001) and less on species characteristics (F=6.2, at p<0.001), although the sequence of phenophases is maintained from year to year. The average vegetation period of rowan trees is 154–163 days. S. decora growing in the Botanical Garden for a long time (planted in 1960–1974) and relatively new species for the collection – S. mericana and S. scopulina (2009–2013) can be considered promising decorative crops for growing in the climatic conditions of Ufa and the Bashkir Urals
