As a result of the work, it was revealed 11 new plant species for Zhytomyr Region (Alyssum desertorum, Bothriochloa ischaemum, Bromus commutatus, Eremogone procera, Euphorbia stepposa, Festuca rupicola, Fumaria parviflora, Ranunculus rionii, Symphytum caucasicum, Taraxacum serotinum, and Verbascum chaixii subsp. orientale). Also, 11 plant species new for the Forest-Steppe zone of Zhytomyr Region were found, and new localities of 14 rather rare plant species are reported. Their locations are briefly described, and, for the majority of species, phytogeographical comments are provided. Among native species, five are regionally rare in Zhytomyr Region (Anemone sylvestris, Carex humilis, Linum perenne, Phlomoides tuberosa, and Salvia nutans). In addition, highly active plants have been revealed among new alien species, such as Symphytum caucasicum; they require further monitoring. It has been suggested that an important role in migrations of steppe plant species in the region played valley of the Rostavytsia River, a tributary of the Ros’ River, and the system of ancient valleys which forms a common hydrographic network with them.","PeriodicalId":52835,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Botanical Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135427398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morphological characters of cones and ecological and coenotic features of eight larch populations in the Ukrainian Carpathians were studied, and on the basis of a comparative analysis of these signs, the point of view of some taxonomists is supported concerning the proper taxonomic rank of varieties (var.). None of the populations known in Ukraine can be identified as L. decidua var. polonica; instead of that, Ukrainian plants mainly correspond to the characters of L. decidua var. carpatica, while the plantation near the Kedryn Forestry belongs to L. sibirica. At the same time, in artificial plantations (Manyava and Nimchych) we registered specimens that, based on the structure of their cones, can be identified as L. decidua var. polonica, and in plantations of Chudei as L. sibirica. It was established that only two populations, Kedryn and Staryi Plai, confined to the upper limit of the forest (1100–1300 m above sea level) are natural, and others (around 700 m above sea level) are of artificial origin, although in most cases larch recovers well. From an ecological and coenotic point of view, groups with the participation of Larix belong to different syntaxa: Piceion excelsae (ass. Plagiothecio-Piceetum), Abieti-Piceion (ass. Abieti-Piceetum montanum) and Fagion sylvaticae (ass. Dentario glandolosae-Fagetum). According to the EUNIS classification, this biotope should be identified as G:3252 — [Larix decidua] and [Pinus cembra] formations of the dry, inner Carpathian Proprad basin.

To withstand drought stress, plants employ various adaptive strategies encompassing morphological, physiological, and molecular adaptive changes. This review aims to analyze and summarize the latest research on the adaptation of Quercus species to drought conditions, with a special focus on the species growing in Ukraine. The review explores the effects of drought on growth, productivity, physiological processes, biochemical responses, and molecular characteristics within the genus Quercus. Special attention is given to the impact of drought on photosynthetic activity, antioxidant system, synthesis of secondary metabolites, and accumulation of endogenous phytohormones. Furthermore, the review discusses recent findings from molecular genetic studies, specifically those concerning the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. Emphasis is placed on the scientific and economic significance of understanding the fundamental processes underlying drought resistance, as it contributes to the selection and development of phenotypes capable of withstanding drought conditions.","PeriodicalId":52835,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Botanical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45603017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article deals with species of the section Microsphaera of the genus Erysiphe. These species are distinguished by fruiting bodies that have non-mycelioid appendages with dichotomously branched apices. A list of 36 species of the section Microsphaera recorded in Ukraine with their distribution by regions is provided, as well as a key for their identification. The most common species frequently occurring in many regions of Ukraine are E. alphitoides, E. astragali, E. berberidis, E. divaricata, E. ehrenbergii, E. euonymi, E. ornata var. europaea, E. palczewskii, E. syringae-japonicae, and E. trifoliorum. Other species, such as E. baeumleri, E. elevata, E. euonymicola, E. friesii, E. grossulariae, E. hyperici, E. hypophylla, E. ornata var. ornata, E. penicillata, E. pseudoacaciae, E. robiniae, E. syringae, E. tortilis, E. vanbruntiana, and E. viburni, were recorded less often. Erysiphe azaleae, E. begoniicola, E. corylacearum, E. deutziae, E. gorlenkoi, E. guarinonii, E. magnifica, E. magnusii, E. platani, E. rayssiae, E. russellii, and E. symphoricarpi are known only from some localities. A number of species are invasive fungi mostly recorded in Ukraine relatively recently, within the last hundred years. Of them, E. alphitoides, E. palczewskii, E. syringae-japonicae, and E. vanbruntiana have become common species in Ukraine. Erysiphe azaleae, E. elevata, and E. platani can massively develop in certain regions or localities. The recently registered E. corylacearum is apparently becoming widespread in the Carpathians, E. ravenelii and E. symphoricarpi at present frequently occur in Kyiv. Some species, such as E. begoniicola, E. deutziae, E. euonymicola, E. guarinonii, E. magnifica, and E. russellii, are known from a few localities; however, in Kyiv magnolias are commonly infected by E. magnifica. At the same time, the North American species E. syringae has disappeared in Ukraine since the East Asian fungus E. syringae-japonicae started to spread on lilac.
