The method of spectral identification of hips and vitamin collection
The invention relates to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and to a method for the identification of medicinal plant substances - rose hips and vitamin collection № 1 by analyzing the spectral characteristics of alcohol extraction. The method of identification of hips and vitamin collection № 1 includes obtaining alcoholic extract using ethanol with a concentration of 95%, an aliquot of 5-8 ml is placed in a 25 ml volumetric flask, add 5-8 ml of acetic acid 30%, 8 ml of alcohol 2% solution of aluminum chloride, bring 95% ethanol to the mark (pH of the solution 1.6 ± 0.4) and remove the spectrum against the background of a reference solution consisting of 5-8 ml of alcohol extraction and 8 ml of acetic acid 30% brought to the mark 95% ethanol; at the same time, three absorption maxima are simultaneously detected on the absorption spectrum, corresponding to: phenol carboxylic acids at 311 nm for vitamin collection № 1 and 323 nm for rose hips; flavonoids at 411 nm for vitamin collection № 1 and 404 nm for rose hips; anthocyanins at 540 nm for vitamin collection № 1 and 526 nm for rosehips.
Biologists from RUDN University working together with their colleagues from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Flax studied the genes that determine the fatty acid composition in flaxseed oil and identified polymorphisms in six of them. The team also found out what gene variations could extend the shelf life of flaxseed oil. This data can be used to improve the genetic selection of new flax breeds. The results were published in the BMC Plant Biology journal.
The soils of urban gardens and vegetable patches contain a lot of toxicants (including lead and arsenic) in high concentrations which can be harmful to the health of children and people with chronic diseases. A team of soil scientists from RUDN University suggested a remediation method developed based on data collected in a garden of Brooklyn (NY, U.S.).

A team of biologists analyzed soil samples from a pasture and a regularly mowed meadow and found out that grazing lets more carbon get into the soil than mowing. This, in turn, improves the carbon cycle and makes microorganisms more efficient.
