PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS IN TWO ANGELICA L. TAXA (APIACEAE)
Journal Title: Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Iasi, Serie noua, Sectiunea II a. Biologie vegetala - Year 2012, Vol 58, Issue 2
Abstract
Two of the species of the Angelica L. genus present in Romania possess therapeutic qualities. A. archangelica is listed in several pharmacopoeias, while A. sylvestris is used in folk therapies, with in vitro research confirming its values. Although numerous compounds have been isolated from the two species and many bioactivities have been ascribed to them, physiological attributes of the above taxa are known to a much lesser extent. The current paper presents measurements of the intensity of photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration at different growth stages for A. archangelica and A. sylvestris. In the same time, values for chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments content and moisture in leaves are given for each growth stage considered.
