Makovskyi V. Bioecological features of representatives of the Vitaceae Juss. family in conditions of their introduction in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine

The dissertation presents a comprehensive study of biological and ecological features that affect the species, two forms and one cultivator of woody vines Ampelopsis Michx. and Parthenocis Planch. (Vitaceae) in terms of introduction in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, including biological and ecological features, adaptive capabilities, seasonal rhythms of growth and development, stability, dishwashing. Highlighted methods of application in landscaping, substantiated the principles of practical application as ground cover plants. Presented the results of the literature review on the origin and phylogeny of plants of the Vitaceae family and their formation in the system of higher vascular plants. Determined the peculiarities of the seasonal rhythm of growth and development of plants of the genus Ampelopsis Michx and Parthenocissus Planch have been clarified and their consistency with the weather and climatic conditions of the introduction area, defined the plasticity of phenorhythmics as the basis of adaptive potential. Investigated the peculiarities of vegetative shoots growth, determined the correlation between their growth rate in length and increase in the number of internodes and the rhythm of such environmental factors as temperature and relative humidity is revealed, the optimal conditions for growth. Established the productive potential and methods of plant reproduction as the basis of their introduction into the culture. Carried out the degree of winter hardiness, the biological limit of frost resistance of annual shoots were determined, the integrated assessment of frost and winter hardiness of introduced plants of the Vitaceae family. The anatomical structure of the leaf surface, which determines the drought resistance of plants, the peculiarities of the water regime, the resistance to atmospheric drought has been determined. The success of the introduction is evaluated, a number of non-standard ways of using vines of the Vitaceae family in landscaping, modern urban planning, indoor spaces are highlighted. Scientific bases of using lianas of the Vitaceae family as ground cover have been developed.
