Abstract

The results of the study of above- and under-ground organs of Ferula foetida (Bunge) Regel growing in Tuyesu sands in the south of Mangyshlak peninsula were presented. It was found that the diagnostic characteristics of Ferula foetida raw material were: the form and structure of epidermis cells, presence of simple mono- and multicellular trichomes, location of conductive bundles and structure of schizogenous and schizo-lysigenous conceptacles in the bark parenchyma of roots, in leaves, leafstalk and above the stem’s conductive bundles. Resin and gum accumulation of Ferula foetida was associated with schizogenous and schizo-lysigenous conceptacles. Stem and leaves of many-aged plants had similar anatomical structure in which all types of tissues were well expressed. Roots of many-aged individuals of Ferula foetida differed by the number of elements in the conductive zone and the thickness of basic elements (bark parenchyma, diameter of xylary vessels and holes of conceptacles).
