The results of cultivating of isolated apple anthers of immune to scab varieties are described. The peculiarities of callus formation using picloram are shown.

It is definited the coefficients of quantitative signs’ inheritance for new donors of dominant stem shortness in winter rye. It is proved the genetic conditionality of plant height’s display for three new donors, which s controlled by aditive genes mainly. It is definited the laws of display and inheritance of other utilitarian signs of new donors Gnom 1, Gnom 2 and Gnom 3. The study of genetic associations of paternal forms’ height with the descendants’ quantitative signs enables to define the strategy of selectional use of dominant stem shortness donors in winter rye.

Results of systematization and morphological characteristics of two wheat species-bread (Triticum aestivum L.) and hard (Triticum durum Desf.) are given. Detail descriptions of 55 main varieties of bread wheat and 32 varieties of hard wheat arep- resented in table version. In practical application these result enable plant breeders, seed producers and variety testers to determine wheat varieties easily sinse it is method for morphological systematics of wheat.

State of national recourses of Sown Lettuce is considered, as well as way of their formation. Methodological aspects of biological potential utilization of Sawn Salad (leaf, head, Rome, stem) are displayed to widen their assortment. Dependence of marginal potentially possible yield of the Sown Lettuce varieties on influence of the environmental causes has been established.

In the article the recommendations of UPOV concerning identifying of varieties of cutting lettuce in the characteristic of steadiness to the powdery mildew (Bremia lactucae Regel) using assessment of the reaction of each specific feature of the famous virulent Dm component or those, which have in their genic structure, at leaset Dm genes, that further the defining of famous and non famous, present or absent Dm genes at the moment of variety identification. The nomenclature system of Dm genes is considered to be international for the description of cutting lettuce varieties Dm genes components.

History of Winter Wheat breeding rise at the South of Ukraine since the end of XIX century till the beginning of October Revolution by the example of Breeding department at Odessa Research Field is represented. Odessa Research Field was established in 1894 to study the agrotechnics of agricultural crops, in particular, Winter Wheat. The Breeding department at Odessa Research Field was established in 8th of March, 1912, and headed by Private- Docent of Novorossiysk University, A.O. Sapegin. The main procedure applied in breeding was individual multifold selection of elite ears from the existing local blends and artificial crossing of lines selected to the purpose of improving economically valuable  characteristics and identifying the inheritance. Five years of breeding (1912-1917 pp.) resulted in creation of three Winter Wheat varieties: Kooperatorka (0194), Zemka (0158) and Stepniachka(0119). In 1918, the Council of People’s Commissars of USSR has parted the Breeding department of Odessa Research Field to independent Odessa agricultural breeding station recognizing development of plant varieties by the Department.

It was studied the impact of mineral fertilizers on productivity and grain quality of wheat durum spring. Glassiness of grain, protein and gluten contain increase along with increase of doses of nitrogenous fertilizer. Maximum grain productivity was achieved by mineral fertilizers in combination on autumn fallow N60P60K60. after pea - N90P60K60

The article deals with agronomic characters of sugar beet MS hybrids developed on the basis of parental components with resistance to Fusarium rots during vegetation period, which were found in studies with the ecological variety test of Be- taintercross. Possibility of combining high productivity and disease resistance in one genotype was confirmed as matter of principle.
