Abstract
The article presents an application example of statistical methods for data analysis on diagnosis of the adaptive capacity of subtropical plants varieties. We depicted selection indicators and basic physiological parameters that were defined as diagnostic. We used evaluation on a set of parameters of water regime, there are: determination of water deficit of the leaves, determining the fractional composition of water and detection parameters of the concentration of cell sap (CCS) (for tea culture flushes). These settings are characterized by high liability and high responsiveness to the effects of many abiotic factors that determined the particular care in the selection of plant material for analysis and consideration of the impact on sustainability. On the basis of the experimental data calculated the coefficients of pair correlation between climatic factors and used physiological indicators. The result was a selection of physiological and biochemical indicators proposed to assess the adaptability and included in the basis of methodical recommendations on diagnostics of the functional state of the studied cultures. Analysis of complex studies involving a large number of indicators is quite difficult, especially does not allow to quickly identify the similarity of new varieties for their adaptive responses to adverse factors, and, therefore, to set general requirements to conditions of cultivation. Use of cluster analysis suggests that in the analysis of only quantitative data; define a set of variables used to assess varieties (and the more sampling, the more accurate the clustering will happen), be sure to ascertain the measure of similarity (or difference) between objects. It is shown that the identification of diagnostic features, which are subjected to statistical processing, impact the accuracy of the varieties classification. Selection in result of the mono-clusters analysis (variety tea Kolhida; hazelnut Lombardsky red; variety kiwi Monty and Hydrangea forma rosea) shown as a helpful tool to detect drastically different varieties.
Highlights
In Sochi, the importation of tropical and subtropical plants has increased, in the fruit and ornamental areas
In light of recent political events and the imposition of sanctions, Russia is actively carrying out activities on import substitution, which implies the saturation of the farmer’s market local adapted varieties, process of restoring tea plantations is in full swing (Resolution of the Russian Federation Government, 2012; Decree of the Russian Federation President, 2014)
The subtropics of Krasnodar region are in undoubted interest and as well as a year-round family resort direction, the issues of urban green space in settlements are required as a must
Summary
In Sochi, the importation of tropical and subtropical plants has increased, in the fruit and ornamental areas. In the laboratory of biotechnology, plants physiology and biochemistry in recent years conducted a comprehensive study of adaptive reactions of various subtropical and tropical crops (tea, kiwi, hazelnut, gidrangea, weigela, etc.) aimed at the search of diagnostic criteria for their evaluation.
