Effectiveness of shelters using light-transforming organic photoluminophore in cloning cuttings of woody species

The effectiveness of the use of a light-transforming shelter for vegetation structures, consisting of a spunbond with an organic photoluminophore integrated into its structure, was studied when rooting cuttings of woody species. The object of the study were stem cuttings of typical forms of common privet (Ligustrum vulgare L.), Hungarian lilac (Syringa josikaea J. Jacq. ex Rchb.), Forsythia × intermedia Zabel, Physocarpus opulifolius (L.) Maxim. and its varieties “Luteus”, “Diabolo” and “Summer Vine”, which are in an active physiological state corresponding to the phase of completion of linear growth of shoots. The mother plants were placed in the arboretum of the Nizhny Novgorod GATU. Shoots were simultaneously harvested from the peripheral zone of the middle tier of a well-lit section of the crown of plants located within the boundaries of a single experimental site with geographical coordinates 56°14'32.7"N 43°57'20.7"E and a height above sea level of 178 m. The organizational and methodological scheme of the work was based on the principles of a single logical difference, typicality, expediency and reliability of experience. The research was carried out using field stationary and laboratory methods. Synthetic covering materials with the inclusion of photoluminophores in their composition have been tested. The summer vegetation facilities were equipped with a fog-forming installation with an automatic water supply and control of environmental parameters. Coarse-grained river sand is used as a substrate in them. A specific reaction of cuttings to changes in the concentration of photoluminophore in the spunbond structure was revealed. The highest rates of callus formation were noted in the shelter variants with the highest concentration of phosphor and were found in Forsythia × intermedia – 77.00±4.64% and Hungarian lilac – 73.16±5.94%. It was recorded that these tree species under the conditions of introduction showed their regenerative ability in various ways when they were propagated by cuttings in summer vegetation structures using light-transforming shelters.
