ANATOMICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES OF THE VEGETATIVE ORGANS (INFLORESCENCE AXIS, STEM, AND ROOT) OF SALVIA OFFICINALIS L.
Keywords:
Salvia officinalis, anatomical structure, inflorescence axis, stem, root, trichome, periderm, vascular bundle, medicinal plant.Abstract
This study investigated the anatomical structure of the inflorescence axis, stem, and root of Salvia officinalis L. The results made it possible to identify the morpho-anatomical features and diagnostic characteristics of these organs. The inflorescence axis was found to be quadrangular in cross-section and characterized by the presence of glandular trichomes in the epidermis. The stem exhibited well-developed secondary conducting tissues and a non-bundled structure. The root showed a strongly lignified structure, with a well-developed periderm and central cylinder. The obtained results are important for the identification of plant raw materials and pharmacognostic analyses.
