Influence of ecological-geographical conditions on the structure and content of pigments, polysaccharides, lipides and fatty acids of the Epgedra distachya L

The influence of ecogeographicaly conditions on the composition and content of pigments, polysaccharides, lipids and fatty acids of the evergreen shrub Ephedra distachya L. The influence of local abiotic and natural climatic factors on the chemical composition of plants is shown. High temperature and low soil moisture contributed to a greater accumulation of polysaccharides (hemicellulose A and water-soluble polysaccharides). In the fatty acids plants growing in the southern region, the total unsaturated fatty acids was reduced and the content of triacylglycerols increased. At the same time, the individual composition of phospho- and glycolipids changed little.
