The article discloses the meaning of botanical semantics, highlights practical appliance of binary scientific botanic nomenclature during plant varieties identification. It is the binary nomenclature of introduced cultivars that requires a scientific approach to structuring and developing the methodological and source learning database of botanical names in Ukrainian and Latin. According to the results of analytic monitoring, research aspects of differentiation of systematic units are shown, as well as certain rules and recommendations concerning theoretically sustained names of botanical taxa in Ukrainian and Latin. The scientific search for harmonization will enable to improve the practical appliance of methodological and linguistic and orthographic requirements and rules of spelling for botanical taxa names during the registration of rights on them. Spelling harmonization by Linnaeus semantic (in Latin) will facilitate a uniform approach to updating methodological and source studying database of binary names of the introduced cultivars of botanical taxa. | Раскрыто значение ботанической систематики, освещено практическое применение бинарной научной ботанической номенклатуры при идентификации сортов растений.

Purpose. To study effects of low temperatures on Lavandula angustifolia plants and their response depending on their age and variety as well as identify critical temperature values for such structure elements of plants as bark, cambium, wood, pith.Methods. Field investigation, spectrometric analysis, statistical evaluation.Results. Topicality of investigation of Lavandula angustifolia to be grown in the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine was highlighted. Low temperature effects on structural elements of shoots for 8 varieties of domestic and foreign selection were analyzed. One-year shoots have suffered the most from low temperatures – 4.5 points on a six-point scale, two- and three-year shoots were damaged in a lesser degree – from 0.8 to 2 points. Plants of ‘Feuervogel’ and ‘Maestro’ varieties with total damage coefficient of 11.3% and 10.6% accordingly were the most resistant to low temperatures. These varieties can be recommended to producers for further introduction to the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine.Conclusions. Tissues of a lavender one-year shoot were most damaged by low temperatures regardless of a variety, but this organ is ephemeral and can be removed without causing damage to a plant. Two- and three-year shoots, which provide plant recovery, were significantly less damaged. None of the plants from 8 studied lavender varieties was lost under the influence of low temperatures, though some of them were damaged significantly. Such varieties as ‘Feuervogel’, ‘König Humbert’, ‘Veseli notky’ (pith damage is on the level of 1–2 points), ‘Maestro’ (0.8–2.5 points) were the most resistant to low temperature exposure which allows to conclude about successful lavender cultivation under conditions of the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. | Цель. Изучить влияние низких температур на растения лаванды узколистой и их реакцию в зависимости от возраста и сорта. Определить критические показатели температуры для структурных элементов ее растений: коры, камбия, древесины, сердцевины.Методы. Полевой, спектрометрический, статистический.Результаты. Освещена актуальность исследований лаванды узколис­той (Lavandula angustifolia), выращиваемой в условиях Лесостепи Украины. Проанализировано влияние низких температур на структурные элементы побегов 8 сортов отечественной и зарубежной селекции. Больше всего пов­реждались низкими температурами однолетние побеги – 4,5 балла по шестибалльной шкале, меньше – двух- и трехлетние – от 0,8 до 2 баллов. Самыми устойчивыми к низким температурам оказались растения сортов ‘Feuervogel’, которые суммарно по коэффициенту повреждения достигали 11,3%, и ‘Маэстро’ – 10,6%. Эти сорта можно рекомендовать производителям для интродукции в условиях Лесостепи Украины.Выводы. Ткани однолетнего побега лаванды больше всего повреждались низкими температурами независимо от сорта, однако это – эфемерный орган, который можно удалить без ущерба для выживания растений. Двух- и трехлетние побеги, обеспечивающие восстановление растения, имели значительно меньшие повреждения. Из 8 сортов лаванды, которые были в опыте, ни одно растение не погибло под влиянием низких температур, хотя в некоторых из них коэффициент повреждения был весьма значительным. Самыми устойчивыми сортами при воздействии на них низких температур оказались ‘Feuervogel’, ‘König Humbert’, ‘Веселые нотки’ (пов­реждение сердцевины – 1–2 балла), ‘Маэстро’ (повреждение сердцевины – 0,8–2,5 балла), что позволяет сделать вывод об успешности выращивания лаванды в условиях Лесостепи Украины. | Мета. Вивчити вплив низьких температур на рослини лаванди вузьколистої та їхню реакцію залежно від віку й сорту, а також визначити критичні значення температури для структурних елементів її рослин: кори, камбію, деревини, серцевини.Методи. Польовий, спектрометричний, статистичний.Результати. Висвітлено актуальність досліджень лаванди вузьколистої (Lavandula angustifolia), яку вирощують в умовах Лісостепу України. Проаналізовано вплив низьких температур на структурні елементи пагонів 8 сортів вітчизняної та іноземної селекції. Найбільше пошкоджень від низьких температур зазнали однорічні пагони – 4,5 бала за шестибальною шкалою, найменше – дво- та трирічні – від 0,8 до 2 балів. Найстійкішими до низьких температур виявилися рослини сортів ‘Feuervogel’, що сумарно за коефіцієнтом пош­кодження досягали 11,3%, та ‘Маестро’ – 10,6%. Ці сорти можна рекомендувати виробникам для інтродукції в умовах Лісостепу України.Висновки. Тканини однорічного пагону лаванди найбільшою мірою були пошкоджені низькими температурами незалежно від сорту, однак це – ефемерний орган, який можна видалити без шкоди для виживання рослин. Дво- та трирічні пагони, що забезпечують відновлення рослини, мали значно менші пошкодження. У 8 сортів лаванди, які були в досліді, жодна рослина не загинула від впливу низьких температур, хоч у деяких з них коефіцієнт пошкодження був досить значним. Найстійкішими сортами за дії на них низьких температур виявилися: ‘Feuervogel’, ‘König Humbert’, ‘Веселі нотки’ (пошкодження серцевини на рівні 1–2 бали), ‘Маестро’ (пошкодження серцевини – 0,8–2,5 бала), що дає змогу зробити висновок про успішність вирощування лаванди в умовах Лісостепу України.

The article highlights potential features for the varieties of vegetable bean and actual losses of yield subject to the total amount of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) received over the vegetation period in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. It is established that the potential of the vegetable bean yield in Ukraine depends on PAR received over the vegetation period. All the varieties had their yield upon receiving PAR higher by 0,26-0,41 t / ha compared to that of control. Potential yield of vegetable bean varieties when PAR is used by 2% amounted to 57.25–59.30 t / ha, which was 2.2–3.6 times more than their actual yield. The smallest actual yield loss compared to that potential was inherent in the varieties of Bartoli and Windsor (2.2–2.3 times). The actual yield losses for Karadag and Karestyno varieties were the highest, namely 3.6 times higher compared to the potential prospect.

In the component composition of volatile solutions determining fragrance of the flowers in apricot and cherry-plum varieties and Prunus brigantiaca Vill. x Armeniaca vulgaris Lam. hybrids there are 36 highest hydrocarbons and benzaldehyde that prevail. There are fewer amounts of the solutions which scare bees (benzaldehyde) in the fragrance of cherry-plum varieties as compared to the flowers of apricot and hybrids. At the same time, the content of tricosane, pentacosane, docosane, heneycosane, eicosane, nonadecan that probably attract bees is higher in the cherry-plum flowers than in the fragrance of apricot and hybrid flowers. The average three years yield of cherry-plum plants (Nikitska Zhovta 10,7 and Salgirskaya Rumjanaya 28,5 t/ ha) is higher than for apricot (Recolte de Schatene 0,3; Rodnik 2,9; Ananasniy Tsurupinsky 7,4 t/ha) and hybrids (8110 – 5,2; 8098 – 6,4 t/ha) that could be explained with better pollination of flowers and better fruit formation. Prevailing components of flower aroma of these plants and their possible link with yield of the objects in questions have been analyzed.
