THE STRUCTURE OF THE PERENNIAL STEMS OF SOME SPECIES OF THE GENUS CERASUS L

Abstract

The article examines the structural features of perennial stems of some wild-growing and cultivated species of the genus Cerasus L. found in various conditions in the south of Kyrgyzstan and, accordingly, their adaptation to the habitat. The purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of the structure of perennial stems of Cerasus species found in the south of Kyrgyzstan. The research method is comparative anatomical. According to the results of the study, it was found that although the general plan of the structure of the studied organ is similar, nevertheless, significant differences in quantitative indicators are noted in the studied species.The results show that the ways of adaptation of plants to living conditions are different. In general, the structure of cherry stems belongs to the annular tubular type. It is believed that such a structure is characteristic of species that are common in harsh arid conditions with a harsh climate. Consequently, it can be assumed that the structure of cherry stems also retained its xeromorphy, despite the fact that some of their species grew in favorable artificial conditions. The data obtained show that the studied species are not adapted to the same extent.
