Abstract
Abstract. Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) Rosaceae is a perennial semi-shrub. Raspberry fruits are used in medicine as a diaphoretic. Underground organs are also of interest for medical use, thanks to the history of use in folk medicine and scientific research data. It is important not only to study the chemical composition, pharmacological action, but also to determine the authenticity of raw materials. The aim of the work was to determine the diagnostic signs of raspberry roots. Samples of raspberry roots were harvested on the territory of the Ilyinsky district of Perm Krai in the blueberry spruce forest. The material for the study was previously fixed in a mixture of glycerin - water - ethyl alcohol for 3 days. Cross-sections were made from the prepared materials. The micro-preparations were examined in a solution of chloral hydrate, and they were also stained with phloroglucin and Lugol's solution. When studying the cross-section of the raspberry root, it was found that the root has a secondary structure. The covering tissue is the periderm. Parenchymal cells of the phelloderm contain starch grains. Conducting system of non-ductile structure. The phloem has a typical structure for angiosperms and is located in a solid ring. The secondary xylem is represented by large vessels that surround the sclerenchyme. During the study, the following anatomical diagnostic signs of raspberry roots were established: the root has a secondary non–bulky structure, stony cells and idioblast - druze cells were found in the phelloderm. The established anatomical diagnostic features can be used in the development of normative documentation for raw materials, as well as to establish the authenticity of raspberry roots.
