Abstract
Introduction as one of the traditional areas of practical activity in forestry remains relevant at the present stage. Having a wide range of useful features and properties, representatives of the genus birch (Betula L.) are subject to diverse research. The purpose of this study was to obtain a comparative assessment of various species included in the taxonomic system of the genus birch, according to the degree of lignification of xylem. The object of the study was the planting of 10 species of birch presented in the introduction collection of the Botanical garden of Nizhny Novgorod state University. N.I. Lobachevsky. The subject of the study was the variability of the degree of xylem lignification in introduced and native birch species. The primary sampling unit in the experiment was a one-time recording of temporary preparations of cross-sections from the average part of the annual growth, which, after staining and fixation, were viewed using a Micmed-2 microscope. Lignification of fiber in the walls of xylem cells was detected using a qualitative reaction of phloroglucin to lignin. Additionally, an experimental analysis of the timing of leaf fall in the studied objects was performed. During the analysis of the degree of lignification of xylem cells in annual shoots of birch species within the experimental area, their heterogeneity in the values of the studied indicators was established, regardless of the species. The minimal number of non-woody xylem cells indicated that the plants were more prepared for the unfavorable winter period and earlier leaf fall. The differences were revealed against a leveled environmental background in the Nizhny Novgorod region and were confirmed by the results of one-factor and two-factor analysis of variance.
