The development of technology of vegetable growing in the condition of protected area is presented. Data of planting acreages and assortment of crops growing in greenhouses in different countries are shown. Development of the popular in recent years hydroponic culture is presented. The problem of information acquisition about acres, structures and yield capacity of protected ground of different countries is underlined.

Results of field experiments of the study of seasonal abundance of Colorado potato beetle in different potato varieties. It was shown that some varieties developed through conventional breeding are able keeping its resistance when threshold of harmfulness is exceed.

There is collaboration between VNIISSOK and Mongolian Ministry of Agriculture in field of vegetable growing and seed production supported by the Swiss Agency of development and cooperation (SDC). Based on the preliminary results of variety trials, Mongolian researchers and breeders have found the promising cultivars of vegetable crops of VNIISSOK breeding suitable for growing in condition of Mongolia.

The role of plant extracts in the process of induction of embryogenic structures and its following development in plants is revealed. Thus, the addition in the culture medium of the extracts diluted in DMSO increases the rate of gynoand androgenesis on 2.4% as compared with control. Experimentally proved that the plant extract derived from the reproductive organs of certain genotype increases the morphogenetic potential of isolated organs only of the same genotype.

The success in the development of the Institute is associated with seed production and marketing of vegetable varieties of VNIISSOK’s breeding. The affiliated organization, the North-Caucasian experimental station is a structural subdivision of the All- Russian research institute of vegetable breeding and seed production. The stuff of this experimental station work on the problem of seed production of onion, root, cucurbitaceae and leguminous crops in condition of the North-Caucasus.

The peculiarities of accumulation of radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr in different organs and tissues of vegetable crops have been studied. Aim of this research was the enhancement of safety and quality of food at the cost of the elimination from the food ration of the vegetable organs with high ability to accumulate the radionuclides

Using the sporophyte selection accelerates in three times the breeding process of new tomato forms with dgenes for the multilevel narrow-shelve hydroponic technology. Analysis two breeding approaches is presented in this paper: the individual selection of recombinant forms from populations and the target hybridization. The target hybridization increases the productivity of the plant and the weight of one fruit in two times.

The results of evaluation of the collection of sweet corn hybrids Bonus, Spirit, NOA, and Trophy for for earliness and yield are presented. The hybrids NOA and Bonuses are recommended for growing of sweet corn in the agro-climatic conditions of southern agricultural zone of the Amur Region.

In 2013, the new vegetable pea cv.Prima was applied for the State Variety Trial. This variety is characterized by very yearly-ripeness, that allows to increase the raw material processing in the canning factories of the Kuban.

The technology of cultivation of stachys, the vegetable and officinal crop, in vitro and in vivo is presented in the article. There is a problem of cultivation of this crop on big areas in private farms duo to the lack of specialized machines. The main labor-intensive process of Stachys`s agrotechnology is harvesting of nodules in autumn (in October). In this period, the temperature drops below zero, and heavy rainfall is possible. This problem can be partially solved with the use of biotechnological methods. Stachys is susceptible to viral and fungal diseases. Diseasefree plants and nodules can be obtained through in vitro propagation. The multiplication ratio of Stachys, using method of clonal micropropagation, is very high (1:200). It shows the exploitability of method of tissue culture and plant cells for cultivation of stachys.
