Abstract
The content of reserve and biologically active substances in vegetative organs of Muscari armeniacum was studied. The presence of sugar, starch, saponins, ascorbic acid, pectins, protopectins and catechins in the bulbs of M. armeniacum during the vegetation period (2007, 2009-2011) under the conditions of forest-steppe zone of West Siberia was established. Flavonols were detected in leaves, the contents of which in all years of observation amounted to 1.8-2.2 %. It was determined that by the pre-winter, the amount of sugar in the bulbs is reduced by 2-4 times compared to the spring, and starch was increased in 1.5-2 times. In May, the content in above-ground organs of ascorbic acid is higher by 5-10 times, sugar - by 1.5 times, catechins - in 2 times in comparison with underground bodies. It is noted that the bulbs contain in 2-3 times more, and leaves do in 5-6 times more protopectins in comparison with pectins. The content of biologically active and reserve substances of vegetative organs of M. armeniacum depends only on the individual and seasonal development of the species.
