THE INFLUENCE OF GROWING CONDITIONS ON THE ACCUMULATION OF MACRO- AND MICRONUTRIENTS IN POTENTILLA ANSERINA L.
UDC 581.192:582.734.4
Abstract
Plants traditionally used in folk medicine require a thorough study for their possible introduction into modern medical practice. One such plant is Potentilla anserina L., which has been widely used in Oriental medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, choleretic, and immunomodulating properties. The study of its elemental composition is important for assessing its therapeutic potential. Our research showed that 24 out of 28 analyzed chemical elements followed a basipetal accumulation pattern, while P, Mg, S, and Li exhibited acropetal distribution. The content of macro- and microelements in plants exhibited significant variability (CV 10–90%) across different growing conditions, with roots showing a broader concentration range than aerial parts. It was noted that in the area of subaquatic discharge of thermal waters, plants accumulate more Na, S, Sr, Li, and Zn (near the high-temperature outlet) and W, Mo, and Cu (near the low-temperature outlet). This selectivity in the uptake and transportation of elements may indicate the high adaptive capacity of mineral metabolism in P. anserina, which allows this species to successfully grow in different environmental conditions. The significant concentrations of essential trace elements such as Fe, Mn, Co, and Cr in the above-ground parts of these plants make them promising for preventing and correcting their deficiency.
