In nature, there is a significant variety of fruit plants of great value, such as high-quality
fruit and productivity donors, resistance to abiotic and biotic factors, etc. In this regard, their
search – a practical continuation of the begun M.I. Vavilov work on the systematic and rational
use of plant resources of the planet. The expanding cultivation of new and non-traditional
fruit plants that have adapted and regularly fetched will enable the production of high
biologically active components fruit for the food and processing industry as well as raw
materials for the pharmaceutical industry. The founders of the scientific selection of fruit
plants and the involvement in the selection of wild species are L. Burbank (1955), N.I. Vavilov
(1987), I.V. Michurin, in Ukraine – N.F. Kashchenko (1934). The Department of acclimatization
of fruit plants of M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden (NBS) over 80 years conducts work
on the introduction and selection of fruit plants.
The aim of the research is to substantiate the theoretical and practical aspects of
introduction, selection, and use of biological diversity of fruit plants of the world flora for the
creation of multicomponent cultures of phytocoenoses. The collection and selection fund of
cultural and wild plants of the department is represented by 20 families, 37 genera, over 700
species and cultivars. The species from such families are studied: Actinidiaceae, Annonaceae,
Berberidaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Cornaceae, Ebenaceae, Elaeagnaceae, Ericaceae, Fagaceae,
Juglandaceae, Lardizabalaceae, Moraceae, Rosaceae, Rhamnaceae, Sambucaceae,
Saxifragaceae, Solanaceae, Schizandraсеае, Vacciniaceae, Vitaceae. Research methods:
information retrieval, introductory, ecological-biological, phenological, comparative-
morphological, biochemical, statistical; analytical, synthetic and clone breeding;
comprehensive evaluation of perspective varieties.
The concept of adaptive introduction is substantiated. It was shown that when
introducing the studied species on the basis of seed reproduction, the effects of natural and
artificial selection from generation to generation, the adaptation of plants increases. To the
State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine 62 cultivars are included: actinidia – 17, quince – 5,
apricot – 2, cherry plum – 1, grapes – 1, cornelian cherry – 14, magnolia vine – 1, peach – 14,
flowering quince – 4, guelder rose – 3.
The long-term introduction-selection work performances of M.M. Gryshko National
Botanical Garden showed the possibility of the wide use of different species of world Flore of
a different botanic-geographical origin for introduction and selection of perspective species of
new, neglected and non-traditional horticultural and berry plants. The best cultivars of such
plants species to the Register of cultivars of plants of Ukraine are included.
The department recommends new species and cultivars for cultivation in private, farmer
and industrial gardens in Polissya, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe of Ukraine.
Keywords: fruit plants, new, non-traditional, introduction, selection, Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.
