On 24-25 of September, 2013, the International Research and Practice Conference of Cole Crops was held in the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production, in terms of which the meeting of the research and methodologycal commission and open field day have been conducted.

The specification for performance of technological operation for cultivation, storage, and transporting of original tomato varieties are presented. The standards for technological process was developed for the first time in Russia.

The resistance of the released varieties of white head cabbage to pests and diseases in the Moscow region (2006 2012 years) has been studied. The diseases and pests as well as their extension and degree of infestation of cabbage plants were recorded.

Effect of organic and mineral fertilizers on pumpkin seeds lipids accumulation and their fatty acids com position is investigated. The influence of nutrition's composition on the seeds size, lipids content and concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids was shown.

The optimal combination of soil treatment and herbicides application in condition of the light chestnut soils of the Volgograd region is suggested.

The data of analysis of the interaction between the components determined the seed productivity of white head cabbage are presented. The positive correlation between the percent of seeding and poten tial/real seed productivity was revealed.

The description of new varieties and F1 hybrids of different species and subspecies of cole crops of VNIISSOK's breeding are represented

The IV International Broccoli consumption conference «Broccoli. The taste of nature» was hold on 7 and 8 October 2014 in the hotel NARVIL Conference & Spa in Serotsk (Poland) with the support of Sakata. The event was dedicated to the production, marketing, consumption and useful properties of broccoli.

The way of improvement of the efficiency of white head cabbage pollination in case of low pollen viability is presented. The optimal culture medium with Tris maintaining pH 8$9 for germination of cabbage pollen was determined.  Pollination of style by the suspension of pollen in the optimal culture medium was suggested. This method allows obtaining of seeds of doubled haploid plants with partially sterile pollen.

The line fixers of sterility from the other pairs with genotype TsitNrfrf are encouraged to use for off-patent biological copyright protection paternal pollinating lines. In this case, the F1 hybrids will always have a TsitSrfrf genotype and will be sterile, which makes it impossible to obtain F2 progeny.
