Abstract
Shrub Lycium barbarum belongs of the family Solanaceae, is introduced and does not occur naturally in Uzbekistan. Despite its numerous medicinal characteristics, in Uzbekistan, its growth and development have not been studied. Therefore, our primary goal was to study the germination of seeds, stages of ontogenesis and some morphological signs of fruits. The highest seed germination rate of 74±0,12% as at the 20 degree C. When studying ontogenesis, plant development was divided into ten stages and four periods. The pre-reproductive period lasted 1-2 years. The reproductive period was determined for 2-3 years from the beginning of the growing season. For several months, an analysis of the changes in the morphological characteristics of the fruits of L. barbarum was carried out and in May, relatively large ripened fruits were determined (length 2.18 ± 0.09, width 1.14 ± 0.11).
Highlights
Since the beginning of the 21st century, wolfberries (Lycium barbarum) a traditional food and medicine in East Asia, have become increasingly popular in Europe and North America
Modern medical research has found that the L. barbarum fruit contains several functional ingredients, polysaccharide (LBP), sugar, betaine, carotenoids, flavonoids and pharmacodynamic amino acids (L-aspartic acid (Asp.), glutamic acid (Glu.), glycine (Gly.), DL-methionine (Met.), Leucine (Leu.), tyrosine (Tyr.), lysine (Lys.), L-phenylalanine (Phe.), L
Individual growth and development of L. barbarum can be divided into the following periods
Summary
Since the beginning of the 21st century, wolfberries (Lycium barbarum) a traditional food and medicine in East Asia, have become increasingly popular in Europe and North America. Numerous products are commercialised under the relatively new name Goji on the health food market [1]. Some functional foods with antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, such as Goji berries, currently represent the focus of many scientific studies, which aim to evaluate their nutritional and health-promoting properties, when associated to a correct lifestyle and nutrition [2]. The fruits derived from L. barbarum, is a local food in China and other Asian countries. Modern medical research has found that the L. barbarum fruit contains several functional ingredients, polysaccharide (LBP), sugar, betaine, carotenoids, flavonoids and pharmacodynamic amino acids (L-aspartic acid (Asp.), glutamic acid (Glu.), glycine (Gly.), DL-methionine (Met.), Leucine (Leu.), tyrosine (Tyr.), lysine (Lys.), L-phenylalanine (Phe.), L-
