CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN BLUEBERRY (VACCINIUM ULIGINOSUM L.), HEATH FAMILY (ERICACEAE JUSS.)

Chemical elements in blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum L.), heath family (Ericaceae Juss.), in the Siberian region are defined by spectral and absorbing methods. 39 chemical elements were identified qualitatively, and 37 elements were defined quantitatively. A short biological characteristics of the most important, conventionally important, toxic and potentially toxic elements is provided. The basic chemical elements responsible for the biogenesis and accumulation of the major organic biologically active compounds are specified. The received results set the scopes of using blueberry and point out the prospects of fruit and berry typesresearches.
