FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE CASTANEA SATIVA MILL
Abstract: One of the most valuable tree species, which has the most diverse application. Very valuable fruit tree. In addition, it has valuable wood, is a good tanning, dyeing, nectar source plant and very decorative. Chestnut kernels are very nutritious and used for food in boiled, baked and raw form.
Keywords: Castanea sativa, anatomical, structure, vegetative organs.
The tree is up to 30-35 m in height and 1.5-2 m in ful core root system. Heat-loving breed, strongly suffers diameter, with a wide, spreading crown. The buds are from frostbite [4].

The petiole is 1.5-2.5 cm chestnut nuts, a high content of vitamin C (1500 mg% long. Staminate flowers are yellowish, fragrant, pistil in fresh fruits) and a significant amount ofvitamin B are flowers 1-3, in glomeruli. Fruit is a nut. Propagates by found. Chestnut leaves contain the highest amount of nuts and gives a great shoot of stump and root offspring. vitamin K (600-800 biological units) among plants.

From the sowing it is necessary to store the seeds in winter on bark, as well as from the leaves of young branches, black dry areas. Trees of sprouts origin bear fruit from the and brown colors are obtained. Fruit oil, bark extract and age of12-16, in planting on the 25-40th year; full fruit- leaves are used in medicine. The wood is sound, light ing comes from age 50. In the harvest years, one adult brown, when stored, becomes reddish brown, light, hard, chestnut tree gives 50-65 kg of chestnuts.

Anatomical analysis of vegetative organs of the Castanea sativa Mill
The leaf has a dorsoventral structure. The adaxial side of a sheet is strictly different from the abaxial. The leaf on both sides is covered with a single-layered epidermis. In the transverse section, the epidermal cells are small, the cell walls are thin. Over the epidermis is located the
cuticle layer. The leaf is hypostomatic, stomata are small, sparse, randomly oriented. On the upper epidermis stomata are not observed. Under the epidermis, the cells of the palisade parenchyma are located in one row. Inside the spongy parenchyma is observed [2]. There is a strong development of the central vein, over which there is a protrusion.

The petiole of the leaf is covered with a single-row epidermis with papillae. Under the epidermis are located in 3-4 rows of the cage of the angular col-lenchyma. The mass of the stalk structure is the main parenchyma. The main weight of the petiole is oc-
cupied by the conducting tissue. Conductive bundles are of various sizes: large and small, bicollateral. The bundles surround the 6-7-row of sclerenchyma. Orientation of xylem and phloem is centripetal, xylem rays are numerous.

Conclusions esis and death processes underlying the selection of life
Thus, the structure ofvegetative organs reflects their forms. function and the formation environment. Histological Anatomical signs can be used in the characterization
structures reflect the intensity of the growth, organogen- and classification of life forms.
