Effect of the radiation factor on flavonoid content and morphometric indices using Pentaphylloides fruticosa as an example

Abstract

An attempt is made to estimate the features of the influence of the chronic action of radiation on the variability of biochemical and morphometric parameters of Pentaphylloides fruticosa grown under the gradient of pollution with radionuclides 90Sr and 187Cs and to demonstrate, using the coefficient of variability (CV), an analysis of the variation curves of distribution, and a discriminant analysis, that the samples differ depending on the level of radiation.
