Analysis of the enzyme activity of the Rubus chamaemorus L. antioxidant system

Currently, biodiversity conservation is one of the key areas for sustainable development of the world economy. A combination of abiotic and biotic factors constantly affects the plant community. Often, together with anthropogenic stress factors, they adversely affect the ability of plants to adapt without compromising physiological parameters and to narrow the limits of tolerance and resistance. One of the options for determining the susceptibility or resistance of populations to climatic conditions and anthropogenic stress factors is to study the complex of enzymes responsible for the formation of the antioxidant defense of the cell. Cloudberry squat refers to relict plants that are endangered in the Republic of Belarus.The studies have shown that the most oppressed of the studied populations of Rubus chamaemorus L. is “Zhada”; however, ongoing measures to restore the hydrological regime of this territory can have a positive impact on its future condition. These studies were carried out for the first time for the southern border of the habitat.“Lonno” population plants are assessed as the most promising ones for use in breeding and distribution of cloudberries that, in turn, will allow preserving this relic species in Belarus.
