Stabilizing (centripetal) breeding produced donor of short stem characteristic for winter rye (Secale cereale L.) with height of plants ranging from cm 50 to 60. Distribution curve of plant's height remained symmetric with cummulation of frequencies at central classes (leptokurtic). For the first time, designation for new allele of short-stem gene HI-2HI-2 and donor name Gnome 2 was suggested. Gnome 2 was found to have direct genetic correlation of plant height with number of flowers in the ear, length of the ear, weight of 100 seeds from the plant, as well as reverse correlation with ear density and weight of kernels from the ear.

Complex assessment of varietal resources of the lettuce by means of identification of morphological descriptions and determination of indices of suitability for dissemination in Ukraine is considered. Contemporary classification by botanic and economic and consumption criteria of all the lettuce subspecies has been adapted.

The authors present the results of estimating seven raspberry cultivars - 'Novokutaivs'ka'(c), 'Phenomen' (c), 'Sanya', 'Perseya', 'Gusar', 'Kryepysh' and 'Strunka' - concerning their capability of forming yield depending on the cultivation year weather conditions. The cv 'Gusar' has been selected which had the highest yield of high-quality berries for two years of researches (2009-2010).

Capitalistic relations were contributing to origination of research breeding during the second half of ХІХ Century. Breeding and seed companied were starting to emerge in Europe in the middle of ХІХ Century. Most famous among them were Velmoren, Depre, Turner (France), Rabbetge and Gizeke (Kleinvantsleben), Dippe und Shriber (Germany) and other.
