Abstract
We studied the nature and scale of seasonal changes in the pigment composition of needles of different spruce species (Picea A. Dietr.) under the conditions of introduction to the Nizhny Novgorod region, and revealed the content and balance of photosynthetic plastid pigments. The objects of the study were 13 species of spruce belonging to aborigines and exotics: Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.); Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.); Glen spruce (Picea glehnii (F. Schmidt) Mast.); white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss); Dragon spruce (Picea asperata Masters); black spruce (Picea mariana Mill., Britton, Sterns & Poggenburg); silver prickly spruce (Picea pungens Engelm., f. argentea); blue prickly spruce (Picea pungens Engelm., f. glauca Regel); Serbian spruce (Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk.); Engelman spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.); Blue spruce (Picea pungens engelm.); Ayan spruce (Picea jezoensis (Siebold & Zucc.) carrière); Korean spruce (Picea koraiensis Nakai). Sampling was carried out in a randomized manner, following the principle of a single logical difference. A spectrophotometer SF-2000 was used. It was found that the content and ratio of plastid pigments in conifers is dynamic throughout the year. The effectiveness of the influence of the phases of seasonal plant development on the characteristics of the pigment composition is determined: by the content of chlorophylla- 18.86±0.32%; by the content of chlorophyll-b-21.26±0.31%; by the sum of chlorophylls-16.13±0.33%; by carotenoids – 37.43±0.25%; by the proportion of chlorophyll-a – 39.74±0.24% and the proportion of chlorophyll-b – 39.74±0.24%. The effect of interspecific differences in the content and ratio of different forms of chlorophyll and carotenoids is significant and sufficiently equalized at a maximum of 23.56±0.91%. With General trends in seasonal dynamics, representatives of the spruce genus have a noticeable species-specific pigment composition.
