Alexeeva N.B. Morphology of some species seeds of the genus Iris L. (Iridaceae) related to the genus systematization //Botanical Journal.2010, Vol. 95, №3. P. 345-350. – The article shows results of the research on seed morphology and micromorphology of seed peel for 10 species of the genus Iris subgenus Iris from 4 sections: Caespitosae(I. ivanovae, I. tigridia), Iris(I. aphylla, I. glaucescens, I. pumila, I. timofejewii), Oncocyclus(I. iberica) and Psammiris (I. arenaria, I. kamelinii, I.potaninii). Seeds have been studied by light and scanning microscopes. Мore than half of the seeds of the species studied have arillus. Primary structure of the seed surface is caused by nature of external tangential cell wall of exotesta which is flat, slightly concave or concave up to complete sinking; the majority of species under consideration have slightly concave tangential walls. The identified features of micromorphology of seeds surfaces allow to make predictions on species groups.

Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference. Pyatigorsk, 2010. P. 10-11. - Crocus scharojanii Rupr. – bulbotuberiferous ephemeroid geophytes with a bright orange perianth. Habitat: Western and Central Caucuses, South-Western Caucuses (North-Western Turkey). The populations were investigated in Karachai-Cherkess, Zelenchuk district in the watershed of the Marukh and B.Zelenchuck Rivers at the footing of Pastukhov’s mount with the gap of 16 years (August 1993 and August 2009). Total area of Crocus scharojanii Rupr. distribution comprises about 5 hectares on the slope of South-Western exposition at the height of 2111-2140 m above the sea level. In 1993 in the given location the grass was used for intensive cattle pasturing and the whole Crocus scharojanii Rupr. Population was very sparced, flowering plants were depressed and didn’t create an aspect. In 2009 there was a dramatic change of plant living state of the high-mountainous species Crocus scharojanii due to easing anthropogenic pressure on phytocenosis. The results of vitality evaluation of Crocus scharojanii in the given location and time period as a reflection of the species adjustment to the changing phytocenosis and ecological environment have been presented.

Alexeeva N. Iris glaucescens Bunge // SIGNA, Molalla (USA), Winter 2010, N 83. P. 4090-4091 - I. glaucescens - Iris glaucescens is bluish because its crescent-bended leaves have bluish bloom. The species is represented by small populations located in Russia, in Southern districts of Western Siberia in the habitat boundary. Beyond Russia boundary it grows in Middle Asia (Kazakhstan) and in the North-West of Mongolia and China. The species is understudied not within the area of growing and is not known for many gardeners. Agrotechnology of Iris glaucescens growing is similar to I. pumila (good drain, sunny place), 2-3 dosings. It winters without cover in St. Petersburg conditions. The species can be used in a stony garden and for border greenery. In situ it has a rich range of colours.

Alexeeva N.B., Boltenkov Е. V., Мironova L.N. Some features of morphology of seeds of the Far East species of the genus Iris (Iridaceae) // Botanical Journal, 2011, Vol. 7. P.
- Morphology of the Far East species of the genus Iris L. (Iridaceae) relating to sub-genuses: Eremiris (I. oxypetala), Ioniris (I. uniflora), Iris (I. mandshurica, I. vorobievii), Limniris (I. ensata, I. laevigata,I. pseudacorus, I. sanguinea, I. setosa), Tenuifoliae (I.ventricosa) has been studied by scanning microscope. Primary structure of the seed surface is caused by nature of external tangential cell wall of exotesta which is flat, slightly concave or concave up to complete sinking; the majority of species under consideration have slightly concave tangential walls. There have been identified 4 types of primary sculpture of exotesta: faveolate, netted, foveate and plicate whith faveilate being the prevailing one. No clear difference could be made between bearded and beardless irises based on this feature. Primary structure of the seed peel of I. oxypetala and I. ventricosa has been studied for the first time. The key for definition of the Far East species of the genus Iris based on the seed surface has been proposed.

The article provides ID quote, type category, protologue quote, detailed description and biological characteristics of the plant, as well as basics of its cultivation. In Russia, the species is represented by small populations on the borders of the natural habitat in the south regions of the Western Siberia. Outside of Russia, the plant grows in the Middle Asia (Kazakhstan) and in the north-west of Mongolia and China. In the wild, flag prefers sage and bunchgrass steppes, sodic sands, dry stone and crashed stone slopes. It can be cultivated in the rock gardens, as well as for perennial borders as an early spring plant. The plant may attract plant breeders for crossbreeding with other
types of dwarf flags due to its draught and salt resistance. The work was performed in the framework of an institutional research project of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, topic 52.5.

At the Botanical garden Peter the Great for more then 50 years, there is a special thematic exhibition – Iridarium, which is a rich base for the scientific research. Here are grown: Gladiolus, Iris, Iridodictyum, Crocus, Xiphium, Tigridia etc. A special interest are at the species of the genus Iris and its varieties that attract its decorative. It should be noted that among the 200 Iris rhizomatous species in the flora of the Leningrad region is known only two: Iris pseudacorus L. and I. sibirica L. In this connection, one of the main problems of scientific research on Iridarium is the introduction and acclimatization of species and varieties of irises. At present, the collection includes 83 species of the genus Iris, of which 32 species are rare, entered in Red Data Books of different level; 413 cultivars.

Alexeeva Nina B. A taxonomic revision of the Iris section Psammiris (Iridaceae) in Russia. Phytotaxa, 2018. 340 (3): 201-216.Until now, as few as 2–4 species of the genus Iris sect. Psammiris (Iris bloudowii, I. humilis, I.
mandshurica, and I. potaninii) have been reported in Russia in botanical publications. We have analysed the diagnostic value of morphological charac- ters. At the series level, features of the root system, the shape of basal
leaves, the height of flowering scape, and the length of perianth tube are most significant. The
shape and size of spathes are also usable for species identification. In the present contribution,
a synopsis of I. sect. Psammiris in Russia is presented, including the description of a new series,
Vorobievia. In that country, the section comprises 7 species belonging to 3 series and occurring
mainly in Siberia and the Far East, one spe- cies extending to the Eastern Europe. A key for
species determination is compiled, and the distribution areas of the accepted species are
specified. Types are indicated for all involved names, two of which (lectotypes) are designated
here. Furthermore, previous results of molecular studies including taxa in this section are
analysed and discussed, which demonstrate that I. sect. Psammiris is indeed monophyletic according to the morphological and molecular data available so far. This study was carried out within the framework of the institutional research project (no. 0126-2014-0021) of the Komarov Botanical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. https://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.340.3.1

Alexeeva N. Innovative ideas for the presentation of generic collections, for example the Iridarium exposition (past, present, future) // Hortus bot. 2018. Т. 13, прил. I, URL: http://hb.karelia.ru/journal/article.php?id=5765.
Summary: In the Botanical Garden of Peter the Great, BIN RAS,
for more than 50 years, there has been a special thematic
exposition - Iridarium, which is the richest base for scientific
research work and a favorite resting place for visitors to the
botanical garden. The first innovative idea is the creation of
Iridarium itself, instead of beds the plants are located in various
modules with hills and ponds, with the inclusion of other
ornamental plants. For the presentation of the exposition,
explanatory shields, information signs, rare and beautifully
flowering plants are equipped with labels. Another innovative idea,
which our Iridariya team came up with and implemented, was the
creation of the site www.flower-iris.ru. Work with him was
conducted in two stages. Now the structure of the site is clear and
understandable. A mirror English version has been completed.
There is a link site, 3d-plan and virtual 3d-tour. A new stage in the
introduction of innovative ideas on Iridarium is supposed to begin
with Instagram, laying out photographs, with small textual
information and preparing virtual tours of Iridarium. For greater
attraction in the recreation area on the site near the pine, where
lectures are held, for the visitors we can organize an additional
services, we will give the opportunity to connect to the Internet
troughout Wi-Fi, use the charging for the phone, or download ebooks
to smartphone. In any case, innovative ideas for the
presentation of generic collections contribute to improving the
quality of knowledge with the collection and expand the
possibilities of its presentation to visitors, regardless of their age,
health status and financial capabilities. The work was carried out
within the framework of the institutional research project

N. B. Alexeeva. Seed morphology in the genus Iris (Iridaceae) from Russia // Vavilovia, 3, 1: 5-28. The genus Iris in Russia is represented by 41 species, 4 species are endemic, 11 are included in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and 30 have their different regional conservation status. The results of the study of the morphology of seeds and of seed coat surface morphology of 40 species of the genus Iris, growing in Russia, is given, mainly using light and scanning electron microscopy. Their shape is round, ovate, oblong or pear-shaped, with the exception of I. psammocola, in which is club-shaped. The smallest seeds in the studied species belong to I. ruthenica and I. uniflora. Morphometric data reduce to interesting conclusions regarding the taxonomic relations between some species. For example, species currently considered as synonyms, like I. biglumis and I. pallasii in I. lactea, and I. maackii in I. pseudacorus, are found different concerning seed morphology. On the other hand, taxonomically well distinct species such as I. halophila and I. pseudonotha share similar seed morphology. A study of the morphological characteristics of the surface of the seed coat of 40 species of the genus Iris made it possible to compile an atlas for determining species of the genus Iris in Russia.

Alekseeva N., Mironova L. In search of irises // Annual bulletin of Irises of Russia. M., 2020.S. 22-24.
The article describes in a popular form the events of the international expedition to the Primorsky Territory in June 2019. The expedition was carried out thanks to the support of the American Iris Society Foundation. The Mongolian-American-Russian expedition was devoted to the study of species diversity, identification of intraspecific variability, the search for interesting and unusual forms in the wild for representatives of the genus Iris in the Far East. During the expedition, we collected all species of Iris growing in Primorye, and herbarium material was also collected. All this has significantly expanded the scientific collections of botanical gardens in St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Ulan Bator and the collection of American iris growers.

Manuel B. Crespo, Nina B. Alexeeva, Yue E. Xiao. Iris zhaoana, a new name for Iris potaninii var. ionantha (I. sect. Pseudoregelia ser. Tigridiae, Iridaceae) from China: evidence from morphological and plastid DNA data // Phytotaxa. 2020, 470(4): 282-289.
The new name Iris zhaoana is proposed to replace I. potaninii var. ionantha, which is applied to a dwarf bearded iris described from western China, usually included in I. sect. Psammiris. It is a plant occurring at high elevation and showing roots thick and grey; leaves glaucous-green, blunt to subacute and shortly mucronate at apex; flower solitary, dichromic, bluish-violet, with standards and falls similar in shape and size; falls more richly blotched with deep-violet and with whitish areas; beard of white and blue-white hairs, tipped yellow; fruits globose-ovoid to ellipsoid, shortly acuminate at apex; and seed with a comparatively prominent, large, yellow aril. These features closely relate I. zhaoana to members of I. sect. Pseudoregelia, namely to I. tigridia, with which it has sometimes been confused. Morphological and molecular data are discussed here that support recognition of the Central Asian plant at species rank and its inclusion in I. sect. Pseudoregelia ser. Tigridiae.

11 species of the genus Iris L. are included in the Red Book of the Russian Federation. Long-term monitoring in two botanical gardens, Petersburg and Vladivostok made it possible to assess the introduction resistance of these species, which in different years were grown in collections. So, with a comprehensive assessment, it was found that the studied species are distributed according to their prospects in culture into four groups: promising or highly resistant, medium promising or resistant, unpromising or weakly resistant and unpromising or unstable plants for cultivation in the Northwest and the Far East. It was found that the species Iris ensata Thunb. in two regions showed a high point score, which is an indicator of the prospects for cultivation in these regions, and the species - I. tigridia Bunge, did not go through a full annual cycle of shoot development, as a result, it died out in the very first years.

On March 31, 2021, after a long illness, Dr. Tatyana Vladimirovna Shulkina, an famous botanist, widely known both in our country and abroad, died. Being engaged in the comparative morphology of Campanulaceae, she actively developed the morphological direction of research on the life forms of herbaceous plants for the purposes of taxonomy and phylogeny, on the one hand, and introduction, on the other, her research showed that the successful introduction of herbaceous plants mainly depends on the rhythm of development and life form, and that plant morphology is important for taxonomy. T. V. was the scientific curator of the collection of perennial plants and collections of plants of the Alpine Hills of the Department of the Botanical Garden of the Botanical Institute. V.L. Komarov Academy of Sciences of the USSR. For 30 years (1961-1991) of curating T. V. managed to make a special contribution to the thematic formation of collections. With it, the number of species increased, due to a decrease in the number of varieties. The vast majority of plants were obtained from natural habitats, among them the number of Red Book plants has increased. In 1991, she left for her family in Chicago (USA), but she was able to find a job in St. Louis on the territory of the former Soviet Union. Later, T.V. became responsible for relations with the former republics to familiarize the scientific community with information on Russian scientific research and plants.

On the territory of the Botanical Garden of Peter the Great, for about 60 years, there has been a special thematic exposition - the Iridarium, which is the richest base for research work. One of the main tasks of research work on Iridarium is the introduction and acclimatization of species and varieties. Of the 85 genera, 1800 species of the Iridaceae. About 130 species from 40 genera were tested on the Iridarium base. 40 frost-resistant varieties have been created. Currently, the collection includes 127 species and subspecies of the Iridaceae of natural flora and more than 400 varieties of irises, incl. 33, created on Iridarium, as well as 26 species mentioned in the Red Books of various levels.

. It has been shown that the resistance of plants themselves to diseases, for example, to bacteriosis, depends on the content of various derivatives of flavonoids in plants, the higher it is, the more resistant the plants are to bacteriosis, these are I. ensata, I. lactea s.l., I. pseudacorus, I. sibirica. This conclusion is confirmed by the fact that groups of irises that do not have such a quantity of flavonoid derivatives are unstable to bacteriosis. Plants, I. lactea s.l., I. ruthenica, which have anthelmintic properties, are not affected by nematodes, both rhizomatous and stem. It was noted that irises with a high content of ascorbic acid in the leaves have winter hardiness (I. setosa - 1218 mg%). Conclusions are drawn, which are confirmed by experience, about the important role of organic acids in plant sap and their resistance to diseases.
