Presented the taxa distribution of the family Polygonaceae species and the casebearer moths (Coleophoridae) on the basis of their host-plant relationships from the territory of the Volga-Ural region.

Vitality state cenopopulations of Hypericum perforatum in Saratov region

In this article authors write about the vital structure ofpopulations H. perforatum in the Saratov region. According to vitality of investigated cenopopulations most of them belong to prosperous type. Vitality of cenopopulations is retrogressing in the following range habitats: anthropogenic transformed - forest glades and forest edges - steppe -forest. On vital status of individuals influence weather conditions. The maximum decline in vitality occurred in populations of steppe habitats, and the minimum - on abandoned arable land, surrounded by forest plantations.

The morfological chacteristics of fruits and seeds of the South-ural Oxitropis uralensis(L.) Dc. species

A comparative analysis of morphometric characteristics of Oxytropis uralensis fruits and seeds from natural populations of the South Ural was conducted. There  was no a significant differences in the value of the coefficient of variation between the populations. However the studied populations of O. uralensis have significant differences between lenth of stem, thickness of fruit, width of abdominal and spinal partition, seeds width and thousand seed mass.

Broad-leaved forests of South Urals Reserve (distribution and structure characteristics)

Data on the phytocenosis distribution and structure and the stands of trees composition of some associations of broad-leaved forests of South Urals Reserve are presented.

Pollen anomalies in scots pine under different ecological conditions

Pollen anomalies in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were studied under different ecological conditions. The results obtained testified to an adverse effect of technogenic pollution on the grain quality in Scots pine. The comparison of anomaly/fertility values using χ2-criterion revealed the significant differences between the test plots located under contrasting ecological conditions. The cytological method applied is considered as a very sensitive one for the assessment of the influence of unfavorable factors on Scots pine ecosystems.

Heavy metals accumulation in different varieties of annual lupin in botanical garden

The work is devoted to the determination of heavy metals accumulation in different varieties of annual lupin according to the content of the given metals in soil.

The investigations of heavy metals were conducted on the following varieties of an annual lupin – Dikaf I, SN 40\9, Nemchinovskij 846, Zhemchug, Narrow–leaf 109.
