Modern directions of nanotechnologies, their value, in particular, for development of genomics were considered. Data about the non-randomness of distribution of some DNA motives in genomes testified in favour of the theory of Lima-de-Faria to interrelation between the structure-functional organization of a genetic material in nano-and microscales were presented.

The high antioxidant content in fruits of tomato and sweet pepper is determined as a characteristic of nutritive value as well as medical purposes. The analyses snowed that the antioxidant activity was different in cultivars type of tomato and sweet pepper taken for testing. It was shown that the antioxidant activity in a fruit juice of sweet pepper was 2.5 times as much as in tomato juice. The maximum antioxidant activity was observed in hybrids with pink and crimson colored fruits such as N603, Galactika, and also inbred lines of pepper developed by inter-specific crossing of N624 and N1713.

Tchika, Zhegalovetz, Valentino, Miver, Milany are newly developed cultivar that have been bred at All-Russian Institute for Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production. These cultivars possess all required qualities for breeding standards. It is reasonable to sow the mentioned cultivars one by one as a chain planting for providing the raw material output at the 30 day period and longer. The cultivars are clearly distinct from other ones by high quality of beans that are suitable for can production and deep freezing. Moreover, they are completely suitable for gardening purposes

В данной обзорной статье представлена информация о генах диких видов растений, которые были перенесены в сельскохозяйственные культуры в ходе селекционного процесса за последние 20 лет. За эти годы наблюдалось стабильное увеличение количества новых сортов, содержащих генетический материал диких видов, а также расширился диапазон характеристик тех генов, которые вводятся в культурные сорта. Те сельскохозяйственные культуры (пшеница, томат), чьи дикорастущие сородичи традиционно использовались как источники ценных признаков, по-прежнему остаются приоритетными для переноса новых генов от их диких видов. Несмотря на то, что постоянно улучшаются технологии межвидового скрещивания, вводятся в селекционную практику молекулярные методы, пополняются коллекции в генбанках и все больше публикуется работ с описанием наиболее значимых признаков дикорастущих видов, тем не менее, вклад дикорастущих сородичей культурных растений в усовершенствование новых сортов остается меньше, чем это можно было бы ожидать.

At department of ecology of All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production the adaptive capacity through bean accessions has been analyzed. As a summarized result for 3 years of observation, Rashel and 6 KSI have been determined as cultivar types with high adaptive capacity for a yielding characteristic and seed production. The mentioned types have been proven to be cultivated wide spread in different growing, soil and farming conditions without any risk of yield and quality reduction.

The technology for bell pepper breeding program has been elaborated for the regions with reduced heating supply. The selected cold resistance forms of bell pepper served as the basis for modeling of cold stresses and pathogen infections being studied at different stages of plant growing. In conditions of protected cultivation, there are cultivars Slastena, Kazachok, pamiyti Zhegalova and some breeding forms were selected. These cultivars can also be grown in open field conditions in Nonchernozem zone.
