История изучения паразитических растений в России и за рубежом

Abstract

The phenomenon of a parasitism is very well widespread in wildlife. Began to be engaged in studying of this phenomenon in the 19 th century. Despite the long-lived history of studying of a parasitism the higher plants, still have no uniform point of view on many basic questions of this subject. This subject is actively studied in Russia and abroad. Feature of the present stage of studying of parasitic plants is the fissile application of methods of ecological physiology and biochemistry of plants. For the last ten years there were widespread researches bound to studying of action of a parasitic plant on communities, and in the modern time many interesting finds are in the field made. Proceeding from the above-stated information studied by us it is possible to draw a conclusion that scientists most often are interested in theoretical problems which remained in the shadow of utilitarian researches earlier.
