THE TRACE-ELEMENT CONSTITUENTS OF THE MOST WIDESPREAD PLANTS OF GENUS ARTEMISIA
In the presented work, research of the trace element composition of the most common plants of the genus Artemisia (A. ;abrotanum L., A. absintium L., A. annua L., A. austriaca Jacq., A. bargusinensis Spreng, A. caucasica Willd, A. cericea Weber, A. commutata Bess, A. campestris L., A. dracunculus L., A. frigida Willd, A. glauca Pall, A. gmelinii Web, A. hololeuca M.Bieb., A. jacutica Drob, A. lagocephala DC, A. latifolia Ledeb, A. leucophylla Turcz, A. macrantha Ledeb, A. macrocephala Jacq, A. mongolica Fisch, A. obtusiloba Ledeb, A. opulenta Pampan, A. pontica L., A. rupestris L.,A. santolinifolia Turcz, A. scoparia Waldst, A. siversiana Willd, A. tanacetiflia L., A. tomentella Trantv, A. vulgaris L.) was done. The content of 58 elements was determined by mass-spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma. At next stage the dendrogram was constructed with using cluster analysis of the obtained data. The division of plants into clusters correlates with their taxonomy positions. In addition, built clusters turned out to be significantly different in content and trace elements of the hematopoietic complex. As a result, it was concluded that species of Artemisia section, including the widespread Artemisia vulgaris, have an optimal relation of hematopoietic complex trace elements.
