The aim of the work. Determination of morphological and anatomic diagnostic characters of aerial portion of Astragalus glycyphyllos.
Materials and Methods. The micropreparations were made from the fragments of wild licorice herb, fixed in a solution of chloral hydrate with further investigation by generally accepted methods using a trinocular light microscope ULAB with the following 40X, 100X and 400X magnification settings; photographs of the research results were performed with a mirror photo camera Canon EOS 550.
Resuls and Discussion. As diagnostic microscopic features of the raw material can be considered the following: trichomes, which consist of 1–2 short basal cells and one large elongated terminal cell with cuticular wart; the terminal cell is attached to the stalk of the basal cells by one of its margins, which is rounded, the other one is acute. The study of fragments of dried and freshly picked leaves, stems, rachis and flowers has been carried out; as a result of the performed analysis of transverse sections from fresh aerial portion of wild licorice, features concerning localization of mucilages, pectins and phenolic compounds in the analyzed plant material have been established.
Conclusions. The morphological and anatomical diagnostic features of the above-ground parts of Astragalus glycyphyllos, a promising nephroprotective agent, have been established. The received data will be used to develop a draft of quality control methods for a new medicinal plant material – Herba Astragali glycyphylli.
