MORPHO-ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE OF SOME MEDICINAL SPECIES OF THE GENUS FERULA L.
This study investigates the morpho-anatomical characteristics of g seedlings of Ferula foetida Bunge and Ferula varia (Schrenk) Trautv., cultivated using hydrogel under the conditions of the Kyzylkum Desert. Microscopic analyses of the cotyledon, hypocotyl, and root cross-sections revealed their ecological adaptation, structural resilience, and pharmacological significance. In F. foetida, the higher number of secretory canals, thicker parenchyma, and well-developed vascular tissues indicate a strong adaptation to arid environments. These findings expand the potential for utilizing Ferula species in plantation development, phytomelioration, and as a source of medicinal raw material
