FLOWERING AND PRODUCTIVITY OF BERBERIS L. SPECIES INTRODUCED TO THE ABSHERON PENINSULA

Abstract

To expand international cooperation in the field of biodiversity conservation, the Republic of Azerbaijan acceded to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity in 2000. The National Strategy and Action Plan for the implementation of the “National Strategy for the Protection and Sustainable Use of Biological Diversity in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2017-2020” are aimed at implementing effective measures in this area and achieving concrete results. For this purpose, the bioecology of Berberis L. species was studied to regulate the ecological balance. The main purpose of the research is to learn the biological characteristics of flowering and fruiting of barberry species. In the dry subtropical climate of Absheron, the age of the species barberry first flowering, the biological characteristics and duration of flowering, the shape and length of the inflorescence, the number of flowers in an inflorescence, the shape, color, size of the fruit, etc. morphological features were investigated. The study of fruit and seed productivity in barberry species with food, medicinal and decorative properties is of theoretical and practical importance [1, p. 196-222].
