The results of expeditional collections and first varietal study of local varieties of plum Izyum erik have been given in the article. The perspectives of the further use of the studied varieties for selection and testing in industrial conditions, in orchards and plots near the houses have been discussed.

The perspective hybrid forms between genus Prunus persica (L.) Batch and Prunus amygdalus Batsch, having high ornamental qualities and high resistance to Sphaerotheca pannosa (L v.) var. persicae Woronich., Taphrina deformans (Berk.) Tul., Clasterosporium carpophilum (L. v) Aderh., Monilia cinerea Bonord. have been obtained for using in breeding of peach and nectarine varieties and their rootstocks.

The estimation of drought hardiness of sea buckthorn varieties of different environmental and geographical origin was made in the field and laboratory conditions. In late August the drought hardiness was estimated according to leaf injures and abscission in the field conditions. In the laboratory conditions were determined the main characteristics of water regime: tissue water saturation, water deficit, leaf water retaining ability. As a consequence, the studied varieties were divided into groups with different drought hardiness degree.

The short characteristica of new sorts and hybrids of vegetubles for greenhouses cultivation are presented. All sorts and hybrids in researches were included in State Regster of Plant Varieties Suitable for Dissemination in Ukrains in 2010.

The prospect of rapeseed production in Ukraine Discussed competition of rapeseed oil on the world market, its use for the production of alternative fuels. An assessment of the capacity of rape variety, which is listed in the State Register of plant varieties suitable for distribution in the Ukraine.

In the article are submitted results of the studing the collection of varieties of haricot bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by the main economic- value haracteristics for conditions for the northern forest-steppe of Ukraine. Are selected and recommended sources of one’s haracteristics and by their complex for next selection.

The article represents results of researches of 20082010 years and evaluation of the new registered and promising varieties and hybrids winter rape (seed) by their genetic potential productivity and adaptability. Changeability varieties according to high-yielding properties and elements of productivity depending with adaptability to the environmental conditions of areas of Forest, Forest-steppe and Steppe of Ukraine. There are discussed the prospects of the trends.

Expediency explanation is provided for foundation in the Ukrainian Institute for Plant Variety Examination of Winter Wheat Varieties Resistance to Abiotic Environment Factors Diagnostics Laboratory, as well as for examination of varieties on their suitability for dissemination to provide new approaches and techniques of plant varieties resistance diagnostics; for systematic, indepth and comprehensive studying of the most important adaptive features of plant varieties, which to take into account when registering varieties, national varietal resources formation and seed production organization.

The pomological description of studied samples has been given; the chemical composition and relation between biochemical characteristics in fruits of Prunus cerasifera subsp. macrocarpa (Erem. et Garcov.) var. pissardi Bailey has been studied. The obtained data are compared with characteristics, typical for fruits of varieties Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. and forms of Persica vulgaris subsp. atropurpureae (Schneid.) Zajats.
