Abstract

A variability of the reproductive capacity of Lonicera caerulea has been studied in its natural population in the Altai Mountains (Kamenny Belok Ridge). The study was carried out in a local area of geological heterogeneity that had been selected as a result of geological and geophysical surveys. The significant influence of a nondifferentiated complex of geoecological factors within the given area on the weight of fruits, as well as their seed production, germinating capacity, and germination readiness in the sweet-berry honeysuckle, has been revealed. It has been assumed that a change in the secondary metabolism in L. caerulea, which occurs under the influence of a complex of factors related to the geological activity, has an impact on the reproductive activity of the plants.
