Gallic acid is found in plant tissues in free form, as well as in the composition of complex esters and hydrolysed tannins. These phenolic compounds have significant antioxidant activity and protect plant cells from damage by free radicals. In the conditions of stress that occurs during the introduction of plants into in vitro culture, the vast majority of explants are characterised by an intensive synthesis of phenols, which quickly oxidise, polymerise, block the explants’ nutrition pathways, and cause tissue necrosis. The addition of gallic acid in millimolar concentrations to the nutrient medium reduces the risk of autointoxication of tissues by secondary metabolic products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous gallic acid on organogenesis and phenolic synthesis of Salix alba and Corylus avellana plants in vitro. For this purpose, the study used methods of tissue and organ culture in vitro, spectrophotometric determination of total phenols and flavonoids in leaves, methods of dispersion and nonparametric analysis. It was established that gallic acid at a concentration of 1 mmol·l-1 in the composition of the DKW nutrient medium caused the awakening of dormant buds, stimulated the growth of shoots, and also promoted the branching of stems, the development and growth of lateral roots of Salix alba in vitro. It also inhibited the synthesis of phenols in Corylus avellana plants of the varieties ‘Tonda Romana’, ‘Tonda Gentile Dele Lange’, ‘Barcelona’, while contributing to an increase in the content of phenolic compounds in the leaves of the varieties ‘Tonda Di Giffoni’, ‘Mortarella’, and ‘Epsilon’. It was established that the varieties recommended for fruiting have a higher content of phenolic compounds (‘Tonda Gentile Dele Lange’ and ‘Tonda Di Giffoni’) compared to pollinator varieties (‘Mortarella’). Therefore, exogenous gallic acid at a concentration of 1 mmol·l-1 has the properties of a non-specific regulator of phenol synthesis in regenerating plants of hazel (Corylus avellana), which is relevant for plants with a high content of phenols, especially at the stage of their introduction into in vitro culture

Modern technologies make it possible to obtain nanoparticles of biogenic metals for use as an additional source of micronutrient for plants. However, the complexity of mass application of nanosized metal particles and their oxides is due to the significant differences in physicochemical properties of nanocrystalline structures which are dependent on production technology, nanoparticle size, surface charge (-potential), and stabilization methods. The biocompatibility and nature of nanoparticles has an impact on living organisms. Regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of using cerium dioxide nanoparticles in crop practice, there is no definitive conclusion. Due to difficulty in the preparation of planting material for seedlings of conifers, the study of the effect of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide on plants is not well researched. The aim of our research was to study the effect of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide solution on the germination of spruce seeds and then to evaluate its effect on the synthesis of phenols as components of the antioxidant system within seedlings. The research used methods for determining the germination energy and seed similarities. Other methods used in this research were determining the content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and phenolic antioxidants. The results showed that nanocrystalline cerium dioxide in a concentration of solution from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/mL stimulates the germination of spruce seeds. Under the influence of nanoparticles at a concentration of 0.1 mg/L in the tissues of spruce seedlings increases the content of phenolic compounds. The increase in antioxidant activity of phenols in seedling tissues while decreasing their total amount at a concentration of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide from 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L occurs when increasing the total pool of flavonoids, which are determined by high antioxidant activity. Nanocrystalline cerium dioxide is a promising material for stimulating germination energy and on the overall germination of spruce seeds.
