STUDY OF FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE ABOVE-GROUND PART OF YOUNG SPECIMENS OF DRACAENA DRACO (L.) L.

The morphometric parameters (length, width) of leaf plates of three generations of Dracaena draco (L.)L. plants formed at different levels of light intensity under artificially created conditions were studied. It was confirmed that changes in illumination had a significant effect on the growth of leaf width. The conclusion is made about the possible connection of differences in the influence of the light factor on the development dynamics of morphometric parameters with the features of ontogenetic growth and anatomical structure of the conductive system, determining the specificity of their hormonal activity.
