The study of the phenotype of Viburnum vulgaris growing in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of individual and ecological-geographical variability of morphological characters and nutrient composition of the Viburnum vulgaris fruits growing on the Krasnoyarsk Territory. As a result of the assessment of the individual variability of traits of Viburnum vulgaris fruits from different natural populations, it was revealed that in all populations the morphological traits are characterized by average individual variability (Cav = 13.9-18.35%); for the nutrient composition - high (Cav = 27.42-36.63%). Three main groups of traits are distinguished: with a low, medium and very high level of variability in each populations of the species, depending on the level of variability There is a decrease in the variability of morphological characters and an increase in nutrients from south to north. A direct relationship was revealed between the variability of morphological traits and the nutrient composition: an increase in the variability of the former is associated with a decrease in the variability of the latter.
