Abstract

Purpose. A comparative study of the interaction between A. arguta and S. chinensis plants in mono- and mixed plantings was carried out. This study examined the pigment complex of the plants and the accumulation of flavonols and proline in their vegetative organs. The aim was to optimise the technology for growing these promising fruit plants and realise their productive potential. This research was conducted at the M. M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv). Methods. The quantitative content of pigments, flavonols and proline was determined using the spectrophotometric method with a Zalimp KF 77 spectrophotometer (Poland), in accordance with the relevant procedures. Plants that had grown for 40 years in grey forest soil (pH 6.5–7.0) were analysed. Results. Analysis of the experimental data revealed significant differences in flavonol content and accumulation dynamics between the studied species in mono- and mixed plantings during the growing season. Leaves of actinidia in mono-plantings had higher levels of these compounds than plants in mixed plantings. The accumulation of proline in actinidia leaves in combined plantings with magnolia vine was lower throughout the entire research period compared to mono-species plantings. Leaves of magnolia vines in monoculture accumulated 20% less proline than plants growing alongside actinidia. Mixed plantings were found to result in a 1.6-fold higher accumulation of chlorophyll in A. arguta compared to mono-species plantings. Conclusions. A. arguta plants grown alongside S. chinensis plants exhibit improved growth compared to those grown in mono-cultures. S. chinensis is an autotolerant plant for which mono-species plantings are preferable. The proline and flavonoid content of vine leaves, as well as their pigment complex, can serve as an indicator of the plants' physiological state and competitiveness in garden cenoses.
