В статье представлены результаты экспериментального исследования возможности улучшения потребительских свойств салата (Lactuca sativa var. Dubachuk MC), выращенного в условиях замкнутой системы в фитотроне ИСР-0.1, путем применения листовой обработки «1-Этоксисилатраном» - новым препаратом на основе кремния, принадлежащим группе силатранов. В результате проведенных исследований было установлено, что применение препарата в концентрации 5,10-4 мл/л при обработке ES1 не приводит к изменению качественных свойств продукции, однако наблюдается увеличение эффективности действия препарата при использовании более высоких концентраций. Компоненты с наилучшим выходом были получены в результате внекорневой обработки ES3 и ES4 с концентрациями 5,10-3 и 10-2 мл/л соответственно. Применение внекорневой обработки в вегетативной фазе привело к комплексному эффекту активации физиологических процессов салата, стимуляции фотосинтетической активности и накоплению фотосинтетических пигментов путем регистрации увеличения хлорофилла на 22,7% и содержания каротиноидов в свежих листьях - на 18,6%. Накопление нитратов в ES4 составило 792,3 мг/100 г, что в 2,7 раза выше. чем в контроле. Также было зафиксировано увеличение содержания сухого вещества на 12,2%, суммарного количества антиоксидантов, увеличение содержания аскорбиновой кислоты на 40% по сравнению с контролем. При этом в более высоких концентрациях наблюдалось лишь незначительное увеличение общего содержания фенола. Влияние на метаболическую активность приводит к повышению производительности вследствие увеличения массы продукции. Интерес представляют дальнейшие исследования в направлении изучения влияния 1-Этоксисилатрана на другие листовые овощи и продление срока их хранения.

This paper presents the results of experimental study on the possibility of improving consumer properties of lettuce (Lactuca .sativa - var. Dubachuk MC) grown under the conditions of closed system in ISR-0.1 phytotron by applying foliar treatment of different concentrations of 1-ethoxysilatran - a new silicon based preparation belonging to Silatrans group. The trail demonstrated no effect of the preparation when applied in a concentration of 5.10-4 ml/l in ES1 treatment. However, the effectiveness starts upon using higher concentrations. The best yield components were obtained as a result of foliar treatments of ES3 and ES4 with concentrations of 5.10-3 and 10-2 ml/l respectively. Applying foliar treatment in vegetative phase resulted in complex effect of activation of physiological processes in plants, stimulating the photosynthetic activity and accumulation of photosynthetic pigments by recording a 22.7% increase in chlorophyll-a and 18.6% in carotenoids content in fresh leaves. Nitrate accumulation recorded 792.3 mg/100g in ES4 which is 2.7 times higher than the control. Also, an increase in dry matter content by 12.2%, pigments by 16.3%, total antioxidants capacity, a 40% increase in ascorbic acid content were recorded. While only slight increase in total phenolic content was observed in higher concentrations. These overall considerable influences in metabolic activities lead to a better productivity in case of production mass. Further studies should be concerning the effect of 1-ethoxysilatran on other leafy vegetables and prolonging the storage of them.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), an annual plant, belongs to the family Asteraceae and is of an important leafy vegetable primarily consumed fresh or in salad mixtures with other kinds of fresh vegetables. Nowadays, it become an ever more popular product in the Russian markets and can be seen predominantly as fresh lettuce in pots which is consumed in significantly increasing amounts due to their perception as being "healthier and Alive" food. Its beneficial effects are believed to be due to vitamins and phytochemicals such as ascorbic acid, carotenoids, polyphenols and fibers that may protect key biological constituents such as lipoproteins, membranes, and DNA [1]. In fact, recent studies have shown the health effects of lettuce in preventing cardiovascular diseases in rats and humans [2, 3]. In recent decades, silicon was shown to be effective on decreasing the harmful effect of a variety of stresses on plant growth and development. Besides the whole spectra of biotic stressors, like pathogens or microorganisms. Si was shown to ameliorate the negative effect of the whole spectra of abiotic stresses, including heavy metals, salinity, and water imbalance in plants [4, 5].
While silicon is not essential for the growth of higher plants, we do know that its availability influences many aspects of the biology of plants that naturally have moderate to high levels of the element [4, 6]. Examples are restriction of grazing and parasitism, increased light interception, and alleviation of the effects of deficiency or excess of nutrient and other solutes [4, 6, 7]. Thus, although silicon is not essential for higher plants it very significantly improves fitness in nature and increases agricultural productivity.
During the following years investigations in the field of organosilicon compounds were concentrated on the development of new methods of synthesis of Silatrans and on the study of their biological effect on animals. Silatrans are a new class of biologically active compounds having a broad spectrum of action and application in therapy, agriculture, fur-farming, poultry breeding, plant growing, cultivation of useful insects and microorganisms [8]. Previously studied organosilicon preparations from Silatrans family like 4-chloro-phenoxyacetie acid and its silatranylmethyl ester and Heteroauxin silatranylmethyl ester stimulate the growth of the cultures of Tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) and soya tissues effectively.
The influence of silatranes on the growth and development of flax (Linum usitatissimum) was investigated using aqueous solutions

of 1-(chloromethyl)-3,7,10-trimethylsilatrane 97). The treatment was carried out I 0-15 days after the beginning of growth in the period of intensive formation of fibre in stalks [8, 9]. The studied preparation of our experiment 1-ethoxysilatrane (ES) itself has been prepared by the reaction of trichloroeth-oxysilane with the tetrapodal ligand tris(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl) amine [8].
Photosynthetic Pigments are the substances with very different chemical structure; they are present in the form of porphyrinpigments (chlorophyll a, b), carotenoids, anthocyanins and flavones [9, 10, 11]. Total leaf pigment includes chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b and carotenoids that are necessary for photosynthesis process. The content of foliar pigments varies depending on species. Carotenoids are lipid-soluble pigments and their health benefits include prevention of certain cancers, cardiovascular and eye diseases as well as enhanced immune system [12]. Variation in leaf pigments and its relation can be due to internal factors and environmental conditions. On study reported that chlorophyll and carotenoids content varied with microclimatic conditions in Adiantum species [13].
Antioxidants provide adaptation of plants to adverse environmental factors, participate in the utilization of active forms of oxygen. Anti-oxidants of non-enzymatic nature include phenolic substances, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, chlorophyll and many others. They participate in various protective mechanisms, thanks to the conjugated double bonds of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit the development of radical oxidation processes [14].
Although lettuce is not the richest source of a number of nutrients, including Ascorbic acid [15], its advantage is that it can be eaten raw, with its nutritive value preserved, as much of it would be lost by cooking. Ascorbic acid is known to increase the organism's resistance to viruses and bacterial infections including allergies. Apart from this, it has marked antioxidant characteristics and is one of major antioxidant agents [16, 17] in removing free radicals along with vitamins E and A, and the minerals selenium and zinc. Consumption of anti-oxidants in food via natural sources is good for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, especially arteriosclerosis [18]. In addition, antioxidant compounds are susceptible to variation among varieties, growing practices, processing and storage conditions on the biologically active compounds [19, 20].
The aim of this study is to test the foliar effect of organosilicon compound 1 -ethoxysilatran from Silatran family on growth parameters and biochemical components and product quality of

Materials and methods
lettuce oakleaf (Lactuca sativa var. Dubachek MC) was cultivated in phytotron ISR-0.1 conditions. The experiment was carried out in G.V. Plekhanova. Moscow in 10th January 2019. On a Cultivation media substrate based of mineral wool, three seeds were sown in each growing hole. After 14 days from germination, a foliar treatment by spraying solution containing 1 -ethoxysilatran (ES) was carried out using 4 different concentrations: ES1; ES2; ES3; ES4, 5.10-4, 10-3, 5.10-3, 10-2 ml.L-1 respectively. For control plants, we sprayed water (Table 1).
Chlorophylls and Carotenoids Accurately weighted 0.5g of fresh plant leaf sample was taken and homogenized with 10 ml of different extractant solvent. Homogenized sample mixture was centrifuge for 10,000 rpm for 15min at 40 °C. The supernatant was separated and 0.5ml of it is mixed with 4.5ml of ethanol 96%. The solution mixture was analyzed for Chloro-phyll-a, Chlorophyll-b and total carotenoids content in spectrophotometer (shimadzu uv 2401pc uv vis, Japan). The method and equations used for calculating the concentration of pigments are those of Lichtenthaler and Wellburn [21, 22].
Ascorbic acid determination The content of the free form of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) was deter-minded by capillary electrophoresis system (Капель 105M - Russian Federation) under positive high voltage polarity (internal diameter of the capillary 50/60 ^m, total length 75 cm) was used [4] Buffer: 10 mM sodium tetraborate, 40 mM, (pH 9.2), Sample injection 450 mbar.s-1, Voltage: +20 kV, Detection 254 nm or 200 nm, at 23 °C.
Analysis were done up to the method suggested by [23] with some modification. A 5g of fresh sample was diluted to 100cm3 and well shaked for 10 minutes in the dark then it was filtered and placed in Eppendorf tube and centrifuged under 15000 rpm twice to avoid any impurities. The supernatant was replaced into the device for analysis.
Total antioxidant activity The total amount of an-tioxidants in lettuce samples was determined using a cou-lometric analyzer MVI-01-44538054-07 "EXPERT-006".
Bromine was generated at a constant current of 50 mA from a 0.2 M aqueous solution of KBr in a 0.1 M solution of H2 SO4 with the determination of the end of titration by a voltmetric indication with two polarized electrodes made of an inert metal. Then 40 cm3 of the buffer solution was poured into a Becher, the electrodes were lowered, and the generator circuit was switched on. Then an aliquot of the test sample was added to the cell (1 g of macerated lettuce). The end point of titration was fixed when the initial value of the indicator potential was reached. During the reaction time, all substances with antioxidant properties reacted with an excess of bromine. After the mixing time was completed, the device automatically filtered the bromine outflow,
96-102 post@vestnik:Vsuet.ru
which was numerically equal to the number of antioxidant substances introduced in the aliquot. At the same time, the device showed the total content of antioxidants in milligrams in aliquot. Results are expressed in mg/g of fresh lettuce [24].
Total phenols content Total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. A fresh sample with weight of 0.05g was grounded with 1.5 cm3 96% ethanol, extraction of phenol compounds was carried out for 45 minutes at 45 °C with periodic stirring (every 15 minutes) and subsequent centrifuga-tion for 2 minutes at rotation speed of 16,000 rpm, from obtained extract samples are taken, with volume of 0.075 cm3, adding to them at 0.075 cm3 Folin-Ciocalteu reagent diluted 5-fold is mixed, after 3 min 0.15 cm3 20% solution of sodium carbonate and 1.2 cm3 distilled water, closed with a cover, stirred and left at room temperature, and after 1 hour, the optical density of the formed tungsten blue is measured at wavelength 725 nm, the length of the optical path is 1 cm. Total content of PC is expressed in mg-equivalent gallic acid per g fresh raw material weight [25].
Statistical analysis Data analysis was done using the IBM SPSS software (version 20.0) and mean separation was done by Tukey's test at 5% level of significance.
Results and discussion
The quality of these products depends on external and internal parameters. The external quality is essentially represented by leaf color which is strongly dependent on leaf pigments such as chlorophyll, carotenoids. Leaf color represents the visual appearance of the product and has direct effect on attractiveness for consumers. Internal quality is determined by antioxidant components or other active compounds that give a beneficial effect to human health [26]. The most important of them are represented by ascorbic acid, carote-noids and total polyphenols. Moreover, ascorbic acid is considered to be the most handling - and processing-sensitive vitamin and is often used to indicate the harshness of a process [27]. In the process of growing the studied variants of lettuce treated with solution containing different concentration of ES also conducted regular analysis of the dynamics of growth for the vegetative part. For 36 days from sowing the seeds we measured the height of plants, mean values can be seen in (figure 1). It was found that the differences between the treatments appeared since the early stages of growth and development and remained until the harvest. The maximum growth rate was observed in plants treated with ES of both concentrations 10-2 and 5*10-3 ml/l. Significant difference in weight and size of plants recorded. Further decrease in the concentration of the preparation led to a less plant development but slightly better than control.
Осман А.Д. и др. Фестни^ВРУИТ, 2020, Т. 82, №. 1, С 96-102 At the end of vegetative growth, shoots mass was determined. Better yields were recorded for treatments number 3, 4 and 5 with concentrations of ES of 19,2; of 21.6 and 27.3% respectively (table 1).
Marketable quality of lettuce is determined mainly by plant size, which depends on fresh weight. remarkable difference of fresh weight at harvesting time can be noticed among all treatments. It was recorded that oakleaf lettuce plants gave highest total fresh weight (42.91g) in ES4 which was similar to ES3 (40.87 g plant-1) and the lowest total fresh weight (30.12 and 30.49g plant-1) was found in ES1 and control respectively. Highest fresh weight of leaf was found (29,15 g plant-1) in ES4 and the lowest leaf fresh weight (22,59 g plant-1) found in ES1.

The highest dry matter at harvesting time (8,21%) were found in ES4 and the lowest dry weights (7,39 and 7.40%) found in control and ES1 respectively. Meanwhile, at the harvesting time, we noticed that total dry matter is increasing in correspondence to the increase of ES concentration. These might be due to the activation of metabolic processes of lettuce plants after foliar treatment with organosilicon preparation, which led to an accumulation of plants dry matter content as shown in (table 3.).

Fresh weight of stem found highest (4.80 g plant-1) in ES4 and the lowest fresh weight of stem (2.92 g plant-1) found in control plants. In case of root, highest fresh weight (5.04 g plant-1) found in ES4 and lowest fresh weight (3.84 and 3.87 g plant-1) found in control and ES1 respectively. Clearly, we can notice the increase in total fresh weight, leaves, stems and roots weight after a foliar application of ES of concentrations above
Taking into account the important role of antioxidants for the plant itself and for providing healthy nutrition, we determined the effect of the studied organosilicon preparation on the total content of antioxidants (table 4) and the most important compounds which determine the antiox-idant activity of lettuce leaf, including chlorophyll content, carotenoids and Ascorbic acid. The maximum value of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) reached 17.42 mg/g in treatment ES4, which is 1.75 times higher than their level in the control -9,95 mg/g (table 2). It is important to notice the impact of treatments on the accumulation of the residuals for non-metabolized nitrates in lettuce leaves. As shown in (table 2), the residual nitrate content does not exceed the permissible level (2000 mg/kg). However, a clear correlation observed between the increase in the concentrations of ES and the content of residual nitrate accumulated in shoots. The reason behind that is due to activation of physiological activity and the increased demand of plants for nitrogen. Considering the content of nitrates did not exceed 50% of the ADI. This is reflecting one of the important indicators for lettuce products safety for human consumption.

In all the studied treatments the content of chlorophyll a exceeded the content of chlorophyll b (Fig.5), which indicates the normal course of the processes of photosynthesis in the treated leaves. A significant increase in the activity of photosyn-thetic processes can be noted in treatments ES2, ES3, and ES4. At the same time, the maximum content of chlorophyll a recorded in treatment ES4 comparing to control. While to significant difference in accumulation of chlorophyll b in all treatments. A considerably high content in carotenoids found 2.02, 2.051 ^g.ml"1 FW in treatments ES3 and ES4 comparing to 1.67 and 1.46 ^g.ml"1 FW in control and ES1 respectively. Carotenoids are also involved in photosynthesis, growth and other
physiological functions of the plants. Increase in carotenoid content is an adaptive reaction of plants. Foliar treatment with ES causes adaptive enhancing and organization of the photosynthetic apparatus and leads to an increase in the content of pho-tosynthetic optical pigments. the tendency to increase the content of Ascorbic acid caused by the intensification of the processes of photosynthesis. ES increased Ascorbic acid content from 6,52 to 13,17 mg/100 (table 4). Clearly, we can notice that the beginning of the effect of ES preparation by applying a foliar treatment on the content of ascorbic acid starts in concentrations of 0,5.10-2 and higher. Whereas no obvious effect on lower concentrations comparing to control.

OcMan A..®. u dp. BeccmuuKjBTy^T^, 2020, T. 82, №. 1, C An important criterion for the physiological state and indicator of consumer properties of lettuce is the water-holding capacity of the leaves. This indicator affects the appearance of the lettuce, leaf turgor and causes weight loss in the turnover process. Weight of cut oakleaf lettuce was recorded at the beginning, during 11 days of the storage period in desiccators at room temperature. The influences of tested ES on weight loss of leaf lettuce are presented in fig. 1. The fresh weight of all samples markedly decreased during storage at room temperature. But the reduction rates were most sever in control, ES1 and ES2 samples and decreased proportionally with the increase in concentration of ES. The average values according to the results of all treatments after 11 days of storage amounted to 19.12, 18.91, 25.41 and 32.34% in treatments ES1, ES2, ES3 and ES4 respectively. In the control treatment, weight loss recorded 18.69% of the original fresh weight before cut. Changes in color were the most noticeable in both ES1 and control treatments which turned into yellowish-white to light green comparing to other treatments which maintained more light green color during the process of storage. The weight loss during storage period in desiccators is due to loss of water by continual transpiration of lettuce leaves. Probably, the organo-silicon compound ES affects the structure of colloidal particles of the shoots and increases their waterholding ability. These results are of great practical importance and can be successfully used to develop technology for the post-harvest storage of lettuce and probably leafy vegetables in the retail environment for restaurants and farms. Our results correlate well with data obtained by other researchers studying the effect of Silatran group on Tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) and Soybean (Glycine max) [28]. The influence of organosilicon preparations from Silatran group on the permeability of membranes, changing

Conclusion
Analyzing the obtained results, we can conclude that the complex influence of the organosilicon compound of Silatran group - 1-ethoxysilatran (ES) on the activation of physiological processes in lettuce plants in the process of growing effectively increased its biochemical activities. In concentrations of 5.10-4 ml/l in ES1 treatment, no changes in results occurred. In higher concentration of 10-3 ml/l we can notice a slight increase. In concentration of 10-2 ml/l, preparation significantly influenced the metabolic activity of lettuce leaves have comparison to control, recording the best biochemical increase. In ES3 and ES4 variants within 5*10-3 to 10-2 ml/l, no significant changes in the metabolic activity of lettuce leaves have occurred in comparison to ES2 which means that further increase in the concentration of ES is likely to be less effective. As a result, growth processes were activated, an increase in plant productivity, an improvement in appearance and turgidity also has been noticed. Consequently, foliar treatment with 1-ethoxysilatran on oakleaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa - var. Dubachuk MC) under the conditions of closed system in ISR-0.1 phyto-tron resulted in complex effect of activation of physiological processes and gives positive effects. influencing growth and productivity of the culture, increasing the dry matter content by 12.16%, accumulating photosynthetic pigments by 16.26%, as well as 1.7 times increase in the total anti-oxidant capacity including total polyphenols and ascorbic acid, improving the quality and nutritional value of lettuce and decreased the loss of weight (dehydration) during storage.
