Potential capacity of Vezuviy, Andromeda and  Snihova Koroleva rape intense hybrids towards developing seed productivity subjects to terms of sowing and use of high concentration suspension micro-fertilizers of Vuksal-Terios, Microplant, Ascofol by way of pre-sowing seed treatment and foliar application.

Представлено результати селекції (1995–2013 рр.) багатолінійних сортів пшениці твердої озимої, їхні переваги порівняно із стандартами за зимо- й посухостійкістю, врожайністю, стійкістю проти хвороб, макаронними властивостями. Наведено господарсько-біологічну характеристику нового сорту пшениці твердої озимої Шулиндінка.

This paper presents the results of molecular studies on testing and evaluation of multiplex test systems for the genetically modified organisms’ (GMOs) identification by PCR in real time. For the detection of genetic modifications in plants of the cabbage family (Brassicaceae) screening of major regulatory sequences is insufficient, as in genetic engineering manipulations 35S promoter – of DNA-containing cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) is used, which presence in the test material can lead to false positive results. In this work the feasibility of testing for the presence of viral CaMV’s DNA and analysis of screened gene sequences of interest for the usage during the analysis of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) samples. It was established that the analysis of the presence/absence of a positive result for the CaMV 35S promoter is not giving complete answers to the absence of GMO in the sample. The appropriateness of GMO’s screening in rape seeds with NOS terminator and genes of interest.

Yield of modern varieties of valuable fodder crop lucerne is quite low - 0.2 - 0.3 t / ha. The reason - lack of cross-pollination due to the lack of insect pollinators. Under these conditions, the highest seed production plants are prone to selfpollinate. The results of the study of 26 new selffertile samples of alfalfa own selection. It was shown that 15 samples for seed yield higher than standard - grade Jaroslavna. The herbage yield of only four samples was lower than in the standard. The dry matter content of all samples was high - 22,1-25,5 %. The results obtained are allowed to select in hotbed of pre-strain testing samples with high levels of self-fertility, seed yield 0,24-0,29 t/ha, herbage for three mowing - 63,2-67,7 t/ha, high dry matters content, which will be used in future breeding process

Assessment of agroclimatic conditions in 2012–2014 and their effect on formation of frost resistance and winter hardiness of soft winter wheat is made. Elevated temperature conditions in autumn and disturbance of cold hardening conditions caused the formation of the highest frost tolerance and winter hardiness of winter wheat only up to -15°C. Under the new climatic conditions the modern varieties of myronivska breeding are able to realize 80–85% of the genetic potential by the property.

When creating Triticum aestivum L. varieties in V. M. Remeslo Myronivka Institute of Wheat, intervarietal crossing was used as the basis for classical method of hybridization. Parental pairs were selected according to environmental and geographical principles. Crossing of lines selected by certain adaptive characteristics among themselves and with the local breeding varieties are widely used. The method of induced mutagenesis is one of the main factor of the evolutionary process which increases hundreds of times the frequency of altered forms occurrence. Thermal mutagenesis – selection of winter forms from spring varieties – is based on low temperature effect on spring wheat varieties (it was developed by V. M. Remeslo, the member of the Academy of Sciences). Method of intervarietal selection in winter wheat breeding provides creation of new varieties of this crop through mass selection of the best plants from local populations. At present, 10 varieties of winter wheat are included into the State Register of Plant Varieties Suitable for Dissemination in Ukraine, one variety – into the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation, seven varieties are passing state quality testing in these countries.

Розглянуто номенклатуру та сучасну систему роду Prunus s. l., застосування назв аборигенних та інтродукованих видів. Чітке розрізнення видових назв плодових рослин і назв плодових культур, які не слід ототожнювати, дає можливість вибудувати струнку термінологічну систему фахової української мови.

There are allocated some forms of distant hybrids with weak degree of fungal diseases lesion (Taphrina deformans (Berk.) Tul., Sphaerotheca pannosa (Lev.) var. persicae Woron., Clasterosporium carpophilum Aderh., Monilia cinerea Bonord. и Monilia fructigena Fr.) that are of practical interest for breeding such cultivars of peach and nectarine that will resist these pathogens.

This article is dedicated to frost resistance studies of 27 hybrid forms of peach of Nikita Botanical Garden breeding and 3 control zoned varieties. The studies enabled to single out 3 hybrid forms of early maturity: Zlatogor х Uspar-1 80-367, Laureat х Zlatogor 73-3 and Zsi-yan-shuj mi-tao х Collins 13 st. III 1/3; 3 hybrid forms of medium maturity time:Veteran self-pollinated, Veteran х Redheaven 81-136 and Laureat хZlatogor 73-6; 1 hybrid form of late maturity: (Tovarisch х I 1 26-76 Nektadiana) 85-197, that displayed high frost resistance of flower buds. The marked out forms are worth considering as a source of increased frost resistance of flower buds to be used in breeding programs
