[Phenotypic and phytochemical differences between Mentha arvensis L. and Mentha canadiensis L].

A taxonomic study of anatomical, morphological, and phytochemical characteristics of Mentha arvensis L. and Mentha canadiensis L. using hierarchical cluster analysis has been conducted and the differences between the species studied have been revealed.

[Correlation between the output and composition of essential oil and the level of salicylic acid in mint plants at different ontogenetic stages].

Dynamic changes in the content of acetylsalicylic acid and the output and qualitative composition of essential oil have been studied in mint plants (Mentha spicata L. and cultivar Medichka) during their ontogenesis with allowance for changes in weather conditions. Ontogenetic changes in the level of acetylsalicylic acid in leaf tissues are found to be similar in both cv.

[Physiological and biochemical aspects of clary (Salvia sclarea L) overwintering in central Russia].

Changes in the hormonal balance and the contents of carbohydrates, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in overwintering organs of the biennial herb clary (Salvia sclarea L.) have been studied in relation to the adverse influence of environmental factors. Weather-related changes in tissue contents of cytokinins (CTK), abscisic acid (ABA), water-soluble sugars, and mineral nutrients elements have been detected in these organs.
