The Role of Dormant Buds in Transformation of Herbaceous Biomorphs (by the Example of Nepeta L. sect. Spicatae (Benth.) Pojark.)

Аннотация

The role of dormant buds in the formation and transformation of herbaceous life forms of plants was determined by the example of a number of species of the genus Nepeta. Different variants of shoot formation and mechanisms reorganization of biomorphs with the participation of dormant buds are described. It has been established that regular and irregular development of dormant buds may lead to the formation of shortened, remote-nodal, and elongated residue, which are the basis for the construction of new shoot structures (shoot systems and rooting partial formations) typical for long-rhizome biomorphs.
