- Abstract:
- The biological features of Goniolimon speciosum (L.) Boiss growing in the conditions of the Akmola region (Kazakhstan) were studied. Due to their morphological and anatomical features, G. speciosum plants are able to grow under conditions of water deficit and increased soil salinity. G. speciosum has a powerful root system, a rosette of basal bare leaves, branched peduncles with corymbose-paniculate inflorescences. The type of leaf structure is dorsoventral, the stomatal apparatus is of the anomocytic type. On both sides of the leaf blade there are salt glands that secrete salt solutions, and the release of salts by such glands is observed in 7–9-day-old seedlings. The seed size is 0,3–0,5 mm. Seeds (both unstratified and laboratory stratified) showed high germination. Plants of this species are vulnerable in places of growth due to the increasing anthropogenic pressure on the steppe vegetation. Therefore, the problem of preserving the habitats of G. speciosum in this region, as well as further study of the biology, biochemistry, and plant resources of this species, is topical.
