Ontogenetic peculiarities of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi under ex situ conditions

Abstract

The paper refers to the study of the biological and ontogenetic peculiarities of the species Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Chinese skullcap) under ex situ conditions, specific to Republic of Moldova. Four life periods (latent, pregenerative, generative, postgenerative) and eight stages (plantlet, juvenile, immature, virginal, early generative, middle generative, late generative, senile) in the cycle of the development of plants were described. The ontogeny of S. baicalensis plants follows the type of monocentric biomorphs that partially disintegrate.
