MOSCOW, January 2 Scientists from the Timiryazev Academy and the Main Botanical Garden named after N.V. Tsitsin RAS have filed an application to register a patent for planting material of the Arctic princess, the press service of the academy said .

“Microclones of Arctic princess with a high content of secondary metabolites – substances that have a beneficial effect on the human immune system – are the result of many years of joint research,” said the agency’s interlocutor.
Arctic princess is distinguished by its high content of valuable substances that have a beneficial effect on the human immune system.
These substances, the academy explained, accumulate in all parts of the plant – berries, stems and leaves. The latter deserve special attention, as they contain flavonoids, ascorbic acid, tannins and other components that help the immune system and, in addition, protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
The technology developed by specialists makes it possible to control the process of accumulation of valuable substances at the germination stage, that is, in essence, to regulate the biosynthetic potential of the plant before the period of vegetative growth and fruiting.
“This was achieved as a result of elimination of cell cultures by chemical factors,” the press service said.
If the patent application is granted, the new technology can be used in pharmaceuticals, and the demand for raw materials will serve as an incentive for growing this berry, the Timiryazev Academy believes. Now the Arctic princess is already used in the production of dietary supplements in the same way as raspberries: jam is made from the berries of the prince, and tea is made from the leaves.
