W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań nad właściwościami mechanicznymi pałki szerokolistnej. Opisano metodykę wykonania badań. Ustalono wytrzymałość na zerwanie poszczególnych elementów rośliny – pędów podziemnych (kłączy), pędów nadziemnych i liści. Porównano je z danymi dotyczącymi niektórych gatunków drzew, krzewów i roślin zielnych, podanymi przez innych autorów.

Clonal plants combine sexual and clonal reproduction, which contribute differently to plant fitness. We investigated the consequence of natural selection on the two reproductive modes and the ecological factors that affect the reproductive modes of Eremosparton songoricum (Litv.) Vass. in order to understand the reproductive strategies of a clonal plant and the relationship between sexual and clonal reproduction. Morphological characteristics and biomass allocation patterns were m easured and compared at the clonal fragment level in two natural populations (riverside population A and hinterland population B) in the Gurbantunggut Desert, China. The flowering plant ratio, inflorescence number per plant, flower number per raceme, fruit number, mass of 100 seeds, root biomass, fruit biomass and ramet height were significantly higher, whereas fruit set, ramet density, rhizome biomass and length, and root number were significantly lower, in population A compared with those in population B. We estimated that the importance of clonal reproduction varies in two populations of E. songoricum, and the investment adjustment in the two reproductive modes may be based on cost required for each new plant to generate the more survival progeny in the plant life time.

A systematic knowledge of clonal integration is an important step in understanding the ecological implication of clonality. This study focuses on the performance of rhizomatous clonal plants under different situations and we proposed a hypothesis that clonal integration will significantly improve the disturbance and drought resistance ability and the competitive ability of Eremosparton songoricum. In 2009, the experiments were carried out in two natural populations. Rhizome was either severed (S) or not (I) in four treatments that include control (C), drought (D), disturbance (E), and competition (F). The biomass and the root-shoot ratio were compared in different experimental treatments. Under drought and disturbance treatments, the biomass of ramet with severed rhizome was significantly less than that of intact ramets, and both were lower than the samples under the control treatment. The differences in root-shoot ratio were opposite to the biomass in drought and disturbance treatments. The ramet biomass under the competition treatment had the same result as that under the drought and disturbance treatments. However, the root-shoot ratio was highest in FS (competition treatment with severed rhizome) and lowest in FI (competition treatment with intact rhizome) under competition and control treatments. Our results suggest that clonal integration enhances the disturbance and drought resistance ability rather than the competitive ability of Eremosparton songoricum. This may be one of the various reasons why E. songoricum is distributed in sand dunes of droughty conditions with more disturbances but less competition. Integration proved to be important for the species occupying adverse patches. For E. songoricum, the existence of rhizome reduces the impact of environmental stress and improves the fitness in association with its location at the dune.

Total concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as of their chemical forms - nitrate nitrogen and phosphate phosphorus has been determined in aqueous and acidic (2%, v/v acetic acid solution) extracts from leaves, roots, and rhizomes of medicinal plants, using spectrophotometric method. Concentration ranges of total nitrogen and phosphorus determined in the studied plant material (in dry mass; d.m.) were 2.80-15.30 mg gsup>-1and 0.51-3.08 mg g-1, respectively. Concentrations of nitrate nitrogen and phosphate phosphorus in aqueous and acetic acid extracts of leaves, roots, and rhizomes were in the ranges: 0.4-35.1 % of the total nitrogen, and 17.8-99. f % of the total phosphorus. Statistical analysis has shown that there is no significant correlation between the total contents of nitrogen and phosphorus in leaves, roots, and rhizomes. However, statistically significant correlation exists between the total phosphorus content and the content of phosphorus soluble in water and acetic acid extracts of leaves, as well as between nitrate nitrogen contents in aqueous and acetic acid extracts from roots and rhizomes. The results have proven that aqueous extracts of leaves, roots, and rhizomes contain significant fractions of nitrogen and phosphorus potentially bioavailable for these humans, who often take natural drugs.

W pracy oznaczono spektrofotometrycznie całko witą za wartość azotu i fosforu, jak również ich chemiczne formy - azot azotanowy(V) i fosfor fosforanowy, w ekstraktach wodnych i kwaśnych (2% (v/v) roztwór kwasu octowego) z liści, korzeni i kłączy roślin leczniczych. Oznaczona, całkowita zawartość azotu mieści się w zakresie od 2,80 do 15,30 mg gsup>-1 suchej masy surowca (s.m.), a w przypadku całkowitego fosforu: od 0,51 do 3,08 mg gsup>-1 s.m. Zawartość azotu azotanowego(V) i fosforu fosforanowego w ekstraktach wodnych i octowych otrzymanych z liści, korzeni i kłączy wynosiła odpowiednio: od 0,4 do 35.1% azotu całkowitego, oraz od 17,8 do 99,1% fosforu całkowitego. Analiza korelacji wykazała brak istotnej statystycznie zależności między całkowitą zawartością azotu i fosforu w liściach, korzeniach i kłączach. Natomiast istotną korelację stwierdzono pomiędzy całkowitą zawartością fosforu i zawartościąjego formy rozpuszczalnej w wodzie i roztworze kwasu octowego w liściach, jak również między zawartością azotu azotanowego(V) w wodzie i roztworze kwasu octowego w korzeniach i kłączach. Wyniki badań wskazują ponadto na fakt, iż wodne ekstrakty otrzymane z liści, korzeni oraz kłączy zawierają znaczne ilości azotu i fosforu potencjalnie przyswajalnego przez ludzi często stosujących galenowe formy leku roślinnego.
