MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF CONSTANT AND DIAGNOSTIC ANATOMICAL STRUCTURAL INDICATORS OF THE NASTURTIUM OFFICINALE R. BR. SPECIES
Summary
The article provides information on the main characteristics determined as a result of the microscopic study of covering, parenchyma, meristem, mechanical, transmission tissues of the species Nasturtium officinale R.Br. During the research, the preparations made from the root, stem and leaves of the plant were studied in a BLM-210 LCD digital microscope in accordance with the anatomical methods and the anatomical characteristics of the species were determined. The main goal of the research was to determine the constant and diagnostic signs for the determination of the species. Anatomical studies have shown that the covering tissue of the plant is poorly developed. Chloroplasts are found in the epidermis, which is a rare occurrence in the plant kingdom. Poor development of cambium and mechanical tissues was also found. The studied anatomical indicators can be considered a diagnostic sign for this species.
