ANATOMICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANT RESISTANCE COMMON HORSE CHESTNUT AGAINST HORSE- CHESTNUT MINER MOTH
The degree of plant resistance against the common horse chestnut was determined by a complex structural and anatomical and biochemical characteristics. It was found, that the surface of the leaf blade injury in resistant forms to HCLM horse chestnut was accompanied by specific pigmentation tissue around the damaged areas of the leaf. The structure of the upper epidermis was identified by specific cellular structures were filled by basophilic viscous substance. It was determined, that the content of plastid pigments in leaves of resistant forms HCLM was significantly higher than the corresponding factor versus unresistable.
