Teza

Cardiospermum halicacabum L. is a species of Sapindaceae family, it is woody at the base, evergreen, climbing, annual or biennial plant native to India, Africa and South America. A sample of seeds, which we obtained from the Institute of MAP- BATEM Antalya, in the climate conditions of Moldova, is an herbaceous, annual climbing plant, having medicinal, culinary and decorative properties.  This type of Cardiospermum contains many biologically active substances. Among them – triterpene saponins, quebrachitol, halic acid, tannins, pentacyclic terpenes (glutinon, β- amirenon, β- amyrin), sterols (β-sitotsterol, campesterol, stigmasterol), flavonoids, fatty oil (33%), which include arachidonic, 11 eicosenoic, linolenic, linoleic, oleic and other acids. Phytosterols that are contained in the plant have a similar chemical structure to cholesterol, are able to penetrate the cell membrane. In addition, phytosterols can effectively inhibit inflammation and relieve itching skin diseases (1). The aboveground part of the plant, collected during flowering, the dried leaves and seeds fatty oil are used for medicinal purposes. The drug is prescribed for chronic dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, cumulative-toxic contact eczema, atopic eczema. In studies, the drugs obtained from this plant are compared with cortisone. In numerous clinical studies conducted in various countries, the drugs obtained from this plant have been proven effective and safe, primarily in the form of an ointment for topical treatment of various forms of eczema (2). Cardiospermum extracts included in cosmetic products are an effective protection from the negative effects of the environment: sun, wind, cold, dust. It has a pronounced anti-allergic effect (3). The stems and leaves are edible and are used as green vegetables.  Cardiospermum halicacabum plants were propagated by seeds sown directly into the ground at their intended places and 60-day seedlings pricked out later into individual pots with fertile soil. The method of propagation by cuttings of green shoots that rooted for 20-25 days has also been applied successfully.  Seedlings were transplanted after the danger of frost had passed. In the second half of May, the plants were transplanted into nutrient soil in a sunny and protected from the wind place. This species is undemanding to soil, but lighter soil with pH 6.1-8.5 is preferable. In this period, Cardiospermum plants were attached to the supports. They were watered abundantly and often.  After 35-40 days, the liana-like Cardiospermum plants had thin, branching, green shoots, 5-6 grooved, glabrous or slightly hairy. The leaves are opposite, triangular in outline, 15-20 cm long, pinnatifid, of 7-9 oblong-oval, deeply toothed, bright green leaves, slightly pubescent on veins, petioles are 3-4 cm long.  The flowers are small, 0.5 cm in diameter, greenish-white, consisting of 4 reverse-ovate petals and 4 ciliated sepals. There are 8 stamens in the male flowers, in the female flowers – without anthers. The pistil – with three-lobed stigma. The ovary – angular, with three nests, in each nest – one ovule. Inflorescence – panicle of flowers with a pair of several antennae on pedicel 4-8 cm long.  Decorative light-green, later – brownish hairy seed pods are pubescent, ellipsoid, triangular bubbles with shiny, black, spherical, 1.0-1.4 cm long seeds with a spot like a white heart, they ripen in September. In each box there are three achenes. Thus, in the climatic conditions of Moldova, for Cardiospermum halicacabum L., the methods of reproduction, in which the plants pass all the ontogenetic cycles, forming many viable seeds, were identified.
