The objects of investigation were leaves and inflorescences of Alchemilla subcrenata and Veronica chamaedry, growing on the left bank at 700 m from the edge of Lake Baikal. Some small differences in the quantity and quality of phenolic compounds in the leaves of one species even selected at one time were found. At the same time, differences in the quantity and quality of phenolic compounds in the different times of the day were even more pronounced. In the inflorescences of Alchemilla subcrenata the dynamics of flavonoids has been characterized by more stable composition than in its leaves. For Veronica's tissues and organs more variety of seasonal cocktail of phenolic compounds than in the Alchemilla subcrenata was detected. Expect a variety of phenolic compounds in inflorescences of Veronica seasonal cocktail was higher than in the leaves.

Palmitic, linoleic and α-linolenic acids are the major fatty acids during the study. Analyzing seasonal dynamics derived fatty acids revealed that for acids with 18 carbon atoms are characterized by virtually similar dynamics during the year in all years. Investigation of composition of fatty acids in the needles of different ages throughout the growing season revealed that in different periods of vegetation dominated by those or other fatty acids.

Round-the-clock dynamics of phenols and vitamins В6, С, РР in the leaves of Alchemilla subcrenata with a glance of thermal change was shown. The maximum of content of phenols and vitamin С was observed at 6 a.m. Dynamics of vitamins В6 and PP, actively participating in the exchange of proteins and amino acids, also is subject to fluctuation during the day. More higher content of these coenzymes are the coolest time of the day. To confirm the possible involvement of vitamins В6 and PP in the biosynthesis of proteins were examined stress proteins in leaves of Alchemilla subcrenata during those same days. Heat-shock protein HSP 17.6 was detected only a day at its maximum daily temperatures and сold regulated protein COR14b was detected in the morning, when the temperature was minimal.

The daily dynamics of peroxidase activity and the total content of phenolic compounds in leaves and inflorescences of Alchemilla subcrenata Buser and Veronica chamaedrys L. were studied. Significant changes in the content of phenolic compounds and activity peroksidase depending on the time of day was shown.

Cultures of microorganisms were isolated from endosphere of Lake Baikal littoral zone plants: Veronica chamaedrys L., Alchemilla subscrenata Buser, Achillea asiatica Serg., Taraxacum officinale Wigg., Plantago major L. Morphology and biochemical properties of isolated bacteria were studied. For the majority of the endophytic bacterial cultures cellulolitic and proteolytic activity has been shown, which necessary for the effective colonization of plant tissue. For many cultures revealed ability in varying degrees to form a biofilm to improve survival in a vegetative organism. Their potencial role in adaptation of plant-hosts under conditions of climat Baikal region was shown. In particular, 9 of cultures demonstrated ability to act as nitrogen retainer. The vast majority of bacterial cultures did not have phytotoxicity or demonstrated its low level, reflecting and minimum negative effects of them on plant. Moreover, culture with encryption P3, isolated from Plantago major in August, showed a stimulatory effect in experiments on phytotoxicity. This same culture possessed the highest ability to secrete sugars as at +26°С and at +4°С.

Increase of carbohydrate content with cryoprotective function to the end of vegetation period was shown. The accumulation of carbohydrates in plants on Lake Baikal shores region was greater than it in Irkutsk region.

Low doses of extracts from conifer trees, such as Novosil and Lariksin, increased the complex resistance of potato plants to diseases in vegetation period. Also they act as growth stimulation factors and promote the growth yield.

The role of weak-associated potato cell wall peroxidase in potato resistance to ring rot pathogen is shown. The data obtained showed that an addition of anti-horseradish peroxidase antibodies to resistant to this pathogen potato cv Lugovskoy cell culture caused block of weak-associated potato cell wall peroxidase activity and cell death after addition of pathogen. These data allows us to suppose that the resistance of potato to ring rot pathogen significantly depends on activity of weak-associated potato cell wall peroxidase.

The influence of ring rot pathogen Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms) on activity of weak-associated with wall cell peroxidase of cell suspension cultures of two potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars which are differs in resistance to this pathogen during hypoand hyperthermia. In low resistant cultivar temperature changes did not caused changes in weakassociated with wall cell peroxidase activity. Pathogen influence did not cause changes in its activity in these conditions too. At the same time pathogen actively grew under low temperature conditions, but at 38 0C the increase of bacterial cell number was detected only during the first five days of experiment, but after this date bacterial cell began perishes. In resistant cultivar temperature increase caused some increase of peroxidase activity. Temperature decrease caused the decrease of peroxidase activity, but following pathogen addition caused increase of weak-associated with wall cell peroxidase activity. In high temperature conditions pathogen addition caused significant increase of peroxidase activity during the first minutes after pathogen addition (because of changes in peroxidase molecule activity) and after 1.5-2 h of incubation (because of changes in genome expression and peroxidase synthesis). The data obtained allows us to conclude that if potatoes are putting in cold soil it could promote potato contamination by ring rot.

The change in kinetic parameters of extracellular peroxidase of suspension cells of resistant potato variety (Lugovskoi) and sensitive variety (Luk,ynovskii) in the initial period of infection by 5369 Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Spieck. et Kotth.) Skapt et Burkh. pathogen was examined. Extracellular peroxidases of resistant and sensitive potato variety without pathogens were shown to be concurrently inhibited. At the beginning of infection enzyme activity was extremely increased due to enhanced affinity to substrate as a result of reducing of competitive inhibiting. In increasing enzyme activity is sensitive potato variant evidently caused by other mechanism.

Changes in the activity of extracellular peroxidases were measured in cell suspension cultures of potato infected by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Spieck. et Kotth.) Skapt et Burkh. The total extracellular peroxidases activity of the resistant potato variety was higher than that of the sensitive variety both before and after infection. The enzyme of the resistant variety had a рН optimum of 6.2, while that of the sensitive variety was 5.4. Extracellular peroxidases of the sensitive potato variety were activated 10 minutes after infection, and displayed highest activity 1.5-2 hours later. In the resistant variety, peroxidase activity rose sharply in the first minutes of infection, and second peak of activity occurred 1.5-2 hours later. The increase of extracellular peroxidases activity of the sensitive potato variety under pathogenesis is connected with the change of genome expression and synthesis of proteins. The increase of enzyme activity of resistant potato variety in the first moments of infection is not related to proteins synthesis and is apparently conditioned by the change of kinetic parameters.

Synthesis on the basis of natural matrices in order to acquire products with the desired properties is one of the promising trends of modern science. Using polysaccharides as a matrix allowed to generate derivatives with diverse structures and new properties. Growing interest towards anti-microbe effect of selenium-containing nano-composites is induced by the phenomenon of antibiotic-resistance of contemporary pathogenic microorganisms.Clavibacter genus bacteria are the most significant and widely spread among gram-positive bacteria. Bacteria cells are static pleimorphous rods, normally singular, sometimes coupled or joined in short chains, strict anaerobes in need of certain growth factors, non-sporogenous. Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus cause potato ring rot. At the tuber slice the damage is shaped as a ring; growing bacteria are accumulated in the conducting vessels causing their occlusion and therefore gradual withering of leaves and stem. This disease is distributed at all the continents including Australia. Harvest loss through ring rot damage may reach 10-45%.Our work was aimed at the study of complex interaction between microbe cultivar and selenium-based nanocomposites. Bacterial strain Аs1405 was acquired from the All-Russia collection of microorganisms, IMBP RAS. This genus is not included in the classification of pathogenic microorganisms by pathogenic groups of Sanitary-Epidemiological Rules SP 1.3.2322-08. The present study was focused on characteristics of the acquired strain.Fluorescent and electronic-scanning microscope was used to acquire photographs of bacterial cells. Pathogen was identified by PCR-analysis, which confirmed the presence of DNA of desired size. The extracted DNA was sequenced with the sequenced sequence added to Gen Bank under the number HQ394204. Cellulolytic and phytotoxic activity of this strain was determined.Chemistry Institute named A.E. Favorsky provided water-soluble nano-composites containing selenium stabilized by various polymers. Nano-composites anti-microbe activity was studied on the investigated strain of potato ring rot. Nano-composites of elementary selenium (3.4% Se) and Se with arabinogalactan acquired from SeO2 (1.23% Se) were found to demonstrate anti-microbe effect increasing with the rise of selenium content. The work enumerates various conditions and time periods of cultivation and determination of the influence of the given water-soluble nano-composites on bacterial cells survivability.
