Плоды пижмы обыкновенной Tanacetum vulgare L. - перспективное жирномасличное сырье. Приведены данные по фенотипической изменчивости пижмы обыкновенной при выращивании в Нечерноземной зоне Российской Федерации. Рассмотрены критерии идентификации плодов пижмы обыкновенной как необходимого раздела для создания нормативной документации: морфологические и анатомические признаки и определение основных групп биологически активных веществ.
Recently, to obtain Tanaceti flores of standard quality, the plant is cultivated. Achenes are the seed material. The fruits of Tanacetum vulgare L. contain fatty oil. Therefore, they can be a promising fatty raw material. The article presents data on phenotypic variability and correlation of quantitative traits in Tanacetum vulgare L. when growing in Non-Chernozem zone of Russia. The characteristics of biomorphological and economic signs of fruiting are described, as well as their intrapopulation variability. 2-years-olds plants in terms of productivity and yield of fruit exceeded in 2,0-2,3 times compared with annual plants. In subsequent years of life, the changes in these indicators are insignificant. On the high variability of fruit yields, we can be estimated that the composition of the Tanacetum vulgare L. population includes biotypes that differ significantly in these parameters. The criteria for establishing authenticity of the fruits of Tanacetum vulgare L. was studied. This is a necessary section of the regulatory documentation. Morphological and anatomical features, as well as the determination of the main groups of biologically active substances, have been studied.
