The article presents dynamics results of ascorbic acid and phenol compounds storage in tissue of cultivars of Sedum, Opuntia and Cylindropuntia genera with contrasting frost-resistance level. It was found out that cultivars with a high resistance to low temperature have synthesis of phenol compounds and ascorbic acid activated as soon as cold season begins. Perhaps these substances participate in protective mechanisms under conditions of low-temperature stress.

Key words: frost-resistance; succulents; ascorbic acid;phenol compounds.

Introduction

Daphne taurica Kotov is an endemic plant of the Crimea. It is a deciduous shrub 4080 sm (120 sm), stems in the bottom part can reach 28 mm across diameter. Bark on stems and lower branches is dark-brown, last-year's branches have dark-purple color, shoots of the current year are greenish. Leaf length makes 4-48 mm, width - 2-10 mm. Leafs are sessile, bare, leathery, quite hard, oblong - inversely egg-shaped, edges are folded, bottom is wedge-shaped short (large leaves) oblong without visible footstalk. Flowers are aromatic, yellow-white or cream-colored by length of 1-3 sm, densely growing and shape heads (3-9 flowers) on the ends of short fruiting woods with thick foliage. Bloom period is in May-June. Fruits are dark red ripened drupes, young fruits have red color. Fruiting takes place in August [2, 4, 5].

Daphne taurica Kotov prefers sod-brown soils, formed on limestones of Jurassic period, characterized by poor alkaline reaction (pH=7,5). It is found in light forest with density of 0,2 mixed with meadow-steppe and petrophyte elements, which belong to association Laserpitio-hispodi-Quercetum petrae, Querco-Carpinifolia betuli order, and in shrub aggregations of Rhamno-Prunetea class.

Two localities were found being included into three cenoses of 17, 42 and 2m2. Population size is relatively 157, 75 and 24 specimens, totally - 256 plants. The first locality with area of 0,5 ha is situated on the right bank of the river Bolshaya Burulcha, among limestones, exposed on the plateau surface, where strata steeply directed to North, as numerous rocks uncover on the surface of slopes forming caves, cliffs and screes. Daphne taurica Kotov growing here forms small branchy bushes, diffused among herbaceous and shrub cenoces, mainly in well-illuminated areas. The second locality is situated on the left slope of the river (Bolshaya Burulcha) valley. This slope begins 200 m higher than broom Gniloy mouth and spreads 800-900 m down along the main valley. The slope is steep, stony with a number of limestone outcrops which cross it till the bottom of mountain range ressembling ridges, cliffs of 30-40m and isolated peaks. Daphne taurica Kotov can be found along the very edges of rock, where illumination conditions are favorable; also some growths are found at the bottom of rocks covered by Juniperus Sabina [3].

Daphne taurica Kotov is a plant of RDBU [2], ERL (V) [7].

It was described as a new species in 1970 thaf s why data of fungi weren t presented at

all.

Objects and research methods

The author investigated population of this species on "Mokrousov rocks" within two localities (Isikov, 2013). One of localities is situated at the foot of rocky steep before yaila area of the mountain, among light forest where the following group of plants grows: Ligustrum vulgare, Rhamnus cathartica, Berberis vulgaris, Rosa spinosissima, Amygdalus nana, Acer campestre, Cotinus coggygria and Cornus. On the area of 200 m2 there were found 70 specimens; plants grow sparsely by single plants. Locality coordinates: n.l. 44°50'997'', e.l. 34°25'815''. The second locality is situated above the first one on yaila part of the mountain among growth of Juniperus Sabina and inside of its spacious cushions. On the area of 100 m2 there were found 90 specimens. Locality coordinates: n.l. 44°51'014'', e.l. 34°25'859''. In terms of this study phytopathological inspection of all specimens and population was carried out, total number is 160 specimens. 20 patterns with mycological material were selected.

Results and discussion

New fungal species were found on leaves and shoots with different type of branching. These fungi have well-marked ecological niches according to organs and parts of plants, what is typical for symbiotic way of life. Fungi belong to the group of highly specialized biotrophic species, associated with a certain plant species. That is way we are sure to classify them as new fungal species.

Pycnidiums are of 100-200 mkm across diameter, cone-shaped, submersed into substrate; exude with black papilliform tops 3-4 mm above the surface. On the place where fungus develops bark is lighter. Fruit bodies grow in big groups all over the substrate surface. Conidium-bearing parts are small, 5-10 mkm by length. Conidiums are colorless or have olive green color, 10-12(15) x 5-6 mkm; capsular is very thin, almost transparent, sometimes oil drops. Fungus develops across the whole plant, on shoots of I-IV orders, 05-7 mm across diameter. It takes the first place among fungi growing on this plant (Fig. 4, 5).

Type: Russia, the Crime, mountain slopes, at the upper part of the river Bolshaya Burulcha, on sphacelated shoots of Daphne taurica Kotov (Thymelaeaceae), 18.09.2013, V.P. Isikov, included into NBG collection.

As to other fungal species registered on study plant, xylotrophic fungus-polyphag Byssomerulius corium (Fr.) Parm. was found there as well. It grows on central shoots 5 mm and more across diameter. It is wide-spread in natural ecosystems and artificial stands, in the Crimea this species was revealed on 30 species of arboreal plants.

Conclusions

Therefore, on rare protected plant cultivars Daphne taurica 5 fungal species were found, 4 of them are new for this plant. Almost all these fungi belong to phytopathogenic species, only one of them is xylotroph. Biotrophic fungi belong to Deuteromycetes class, Sphaeropsidales order and Phyllosticta, Phomopsis, Cytospora, Macrophoma genera, while xylotrophic fungus is of Basidiomycetes class, Aphyllophorales order, Byssomerulius genus.
