The survival and distribution of Quercus species are profoundly influenced by extreme environmental conditions, including drought. 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":null,"pages":null},"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}

Studies of BVOCs of forests attracted the attention of many scientists ruring recent decades, including such aspects asmechanisms of synthesis and emissions, chemical composition, influence of biotic and abiotic factors. It was noted that during processes of their life activities, higher plants emit volatile organic substances into the air, which affects the chemical composition and physical state of the atmosphere, and adaptation of forests to ecological stress associated with climate change. BVOCs play a key role in the ozone formation and quenching, resulting in the formation of oxidation products — secondary organic aerosols that scatter sunlight and affect the formation of clouds and, ultimately, the climate. The need to take into account the functional dynamics of BVOCs at the ecosystem level is demonstrated: from the interaction of different types of ecosystems to the degradation of atmospheric compounds and potential functions of products of their reactions.","PeriodicalId":52835,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Botanical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47954201","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. The indigenous fungus E. robiniae has also ceased to occur on Caragana arborescens, being completely replaced by the East Asian species E. palczewskii.","PeriodicalId":52835,"journal":{"name":"Ukrainian Botanical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46821335","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}
