Aim. The purpose of these studies is to assess the phytotoxicity and insectoacaricidal activity of actinomycetes culture fluid. The results of phytosanitary monitoring on plantings of crops indicate the massive development of pathogens of viral phytopathogens which can spread through insects -pests and ticks. In this connection, the study of soil actinomycetes of the Astrakhan region provides a promising direction for creating a microbial preparation for regulating pests which are carriers of phytopathogenic viruses. Material and Methods. The phytotoxicity of the actinomycetes culture fluid was assessed in laboratory experiments on seeds of the Novichok tomato variety. Acidic and acaricidal activity was determined in the laboratory by a method based on contact interaction between the preparation and the test object. Results. As the result of the studies, ten isolates showed a phytotoxic effect on the Novichok tomato. The highest biometric indicators of the plants studied -biomass (15.3-17.0 mg), root length (3.7-5.0 cm) and stem length (2.0-2.7 cm) were found in variants with isolates №2, №3, № 10, №11 and №18, which also had high rates of seed germination. These isolates most actively suppressed the vitality (90-100%) of melon (Aphis gossypii Glover.) аnd legume (beet) (Aphis fabae Black.) аphids and spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch.) in laboratory conditions. Conclusion. The study of isolates №2, №3, №10, №11 and №18 showed high insectoacaricidal activity and phytostimulating properties. Using 16S DNA sequencing, 2 strains, №2 and №18, that are represented by Nocardiopsis umidischolae species, were identified.
In an experiment on white rats, the regenerating effect of biologically active substances of plant species growing in the Astrakhan region was shown: Achillea micrantha Willd., Helichrysum arenarium, Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Helichrysum nogaicum Tzvel. The article presents data from planimetric studies of damaged skin. The results obtained make it possible to consider extracts as the basis of tissue repair stimulants, as well as to recommend them as anti-inflammatory and wound healing agents.
Plants of Helichrysum genus belong to Asteraceae family and abound with species. The’re two species of plants of Helichrysum genus in the Astrakhan region – Helichrysum arenarium Moench and Hеlichrisum nogaicum Zvelev that was discovered later and isn’t studied well enough yet. Helichrysum arenarium is a well-known medical plant widely used in both academic and traditional medicine and included into the State Pharmacopoeia. Inflorescences of Helichrysum arenarium produce cholagogic, hemostatic, detoxicating, laxative, anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects, which is due to content of flavonoids, terpenoids and other components. This works shows results of studies of chemical composition of extracted essential oils of Hеlichrisum nogaicum and Helichrysum arenarium growing in the Astrakhan Region. Samples of essential oils of plants under studies have been obtained by steam distillation. Optimal steam distillation process duration has been determined by experiment taking studies of dynamics of essential oil yield change through time as a ground. Quantitative analysis of main components of Helichrysum arenarium and Hеlichrisum nogaicum essential oils has been carried out by gas-liquid chromatography. It has been identified that Helichrysum arenarium essential oil contains 21 substances. Its main components are camphor (14.59%) and carboxylic acids (37.02%), and 1,8-cineole (5.97%). The main components of the oil Helichrisum nogaicum are camphor (38.33%), borneol (14.21%), cineol-1.8 (11.37%) and terpene-4-ol (5.18%), sesquiterpene compounds (6.28%), and the content of carboxylic acids is insignificant and amounts to 6.58%.
