Plant compositions

If all biotic and abiotic factors can be controlled, genetic influence is one of the major features responsible for differences in phytochemical composition. Several reviews on diverse compounds have reported the genetic influence on phytochemicals, sometimes to a surprising order of magnitude. The influence of cultivar can be even greater than the influence of growth conditions, thus complicating the data analyses for plant composition.

For practical reasons the plants of organic producers need to stay healthy, so farmers are unlikely to adopt new practices if they observe increased susceptibility to diseases and pests. If the above-listed hypotheses are substantiated, this will provide a guarantee that possible health advantages are retained even when new methods are adopted. There is, however, a risk that the development or adoption of effective methods to prevent diseases and pests, which do not depend on the intrinsic resistance of the plants, could relax this selection and thus lead to less health-protective plant composition. Awareness needs to be raised about monitoring plant resistance to diseases and pests as a key indicator not only of production efficiency but also of possible health benefits (and no harm will have been done if this turns out to be wrong).

Plants and plant products appear in museum collections in many forms. Environmental and storage conditions that are ideal for a botanical specimen are generally good for products made from parts of the same plant. Composite objects, however, must be considered for all the different materials they contain, and an environmental compromise reached that will be the best for the thing as a whole. Sometimes the best treatment for a composite object is to take it apart so that the different materials can be stored separately. 

Industrial crops. Industrial crops are developed and grown to produce specific industrial chemicals or materials. Examples include kenaf and straws for fiber, and castor for ricinoleic acid. New transgenic crops are being developed that produce the desired chemicals as part of the plant composition, requiring only extraction and purification of the product. 

Feedstocks processed commercially include C8 aromatic extracts from catalytic reformates and pyrolysis liquids resulting from ethylene cracking plants. Composition of these stocks vary widely, the major differences being their ethylbenzene content. Fresh feeds from which ethylbenzenes have been removed typically contain 2-4 wt % ethylbenzene. Inclusion of C8 aromatic extracts from pyrolysis liquids can increase ethylbenzene content to 30 wt % or higher. Fresh feeds with this range of ethylbenzene contents have been processed successfully over octafining catalyst. 

The relationship between environmental temperature and plant composition may account for the generally low feeding value of tropical grasses (20). The problem of tropical forages is one of great importance to future world food supplies and is urgently in need of further research.

Since 2009 important part of scientific and educational activity of the NAFU is the common use centre Arctic which is well equipped with the devices for ScF extraction, chromatography, and chemical reactions performing. It helps in the analysis of biomass of different plants composition and properties, and synthesis of new materials in ScF carbon dioxide. Not only postgraduate or doctoral students but also students working on Bachelor s and Master s programmes have free access to such modern equipment during seminars and training as well as for preparation of their own projects.
