MODELS FOR THE SPROUT FORMATION OF GROUND POLYCARPIC PLANTS OF THE NORTHERN PRISIVASH FLORA

Abstract

The vegetative organs of plants and the dynamics of their sprout systems in
ontogenesis are studied from the point of view of "models of sprout formation" or
"architectural models" that have been proposed for tropical trees. According to
T.I. Serebryakova the concept of "models of sprout formation" has been useful
for studying the life forms of plants. Four main models have been emphasized that
characterized only the form of growth regardless of size and overall life
expectancy, which has transmitted by heredity and can be used as an important
taxonomic indicator. The peculiarities of organization of models of sprout
formation of herbaceous polycarpic plants of the Northern Prisivash are analyzed
in the work using the example of model species.
Key words: herbaceous polycarpic plants, models of sprout formation, the
model species, the Northern Prisivash.
