title: Physiological and biochemical features of fig cultivars (&lt;I&gt;Ficus carica&lt;/I&gt; L.) from the collection of the Nikita Botanical Gardens
abstract: Background . Identification of promising fig cultivars (Ficus carica L.) with high content of bioactive compounds in fruits and increased adaptability to moisture deficiency is important for breeding and fruit growing in arid regions. Methods . The chemical analysis of fruits was performed using conventional methods. The content of essential elements was measured on a Kvant 2MT atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Drought resistance was assessed using the method of determining the water-holding
