Annotation

In 2011-2021 as a result of the assessment of the gene pool of fruit, small fruit crops, nut-fruited crops and grapes were identified 286 sources of economically valuable traits (resistance to the main fun-gal diseases of fruit, small fruit crops and nut crops, high decorativeness of fruit crops and grapes, self-fertility of cherries and sweet cherries, weak growth of rootstocks, suitability for mechanized harvesting, as well as winter hardiness, large-fruits, productivity of small fruit crops, remontant of strawberries, weak shedding of fruits and dessert taste of honeysuckle, high regenerative capacity after pruning sea buckthorn), including 155 fruit crops (apple trees � 81 pcs., pears � 11, domestic plums � 15, cherry plums � 13, apricots � 6, cherries � 17, sweet cherries � 7, sweet cherry rootstocks � 5 pcs. .) and 122 samples of small fruit crops (strawberry � 19 pcs., black currant � 19; red currant � 4; gooseberry � 35; raspberry � 19; blue honeysuckle � 11; sea buckthorn � 15 pcs.), as well as 7 pcs. of walnut and 2 of grapes. Selected samples of fruit, small fruit crops, nut-fruited crops and grapes are described according to the classifier with a variant of the unified passport descriptors of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the European Cooperative Program for Plant Genetic Resources (FAO / ECPGR) for maintaining a passport database and placing information in the international European catalogue of gene pool samples EURISCO. The obtained passports can be used for further research work, as well as identification of samples in subjects of various forms of ownership, scientific and educational institutions.
