The research results of the department of breeding and variety investigation of pome crops at VNIISPK are presented. For the first time in Russia and in the world, Academician Sedov E.N. in collaboration with the Institute scientists developed a series of triploid apple varieties from intervalent crosses 2x × 4x that are characterized by regular fruit-bearing, high fruit marketability and higher autogamy. Apple varieties having immunity to scab and columnar habit of the crown have been created. 25 triploid varieties and 26 scab immune apple varieties from the VNIISPK breeding program have been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements Admitted for Use. The largest in Russia apple gene pool has been collected at the VNIISPK. It has 652 varieties and 357 selected and elite accessions of different genetic and ecological and geographical origin. A research team under the leadership of Dr. Krasova N.G. studies apple genetic resources. 836 genotypes have been evaluated for the basic commercial and biological indicators. The elements of intensive technologies of apple cultivation with the use of dwarf and intercalary rootstocks are being worked out. Agrotechnical methods for growing annual apple seedlings and methods of crown formation of fruit trees with different growth rates are being studied.At the laboratory of pear and non-traditional pome crop breeding, Dr. E.A. Dolmatov and his team carry out the research on pear breeding, breeding of dwarf rootstocks on the basis of quince and breeding of ornamental apple and pear trees. For the first time in Russia, the morphological and biological study of hybrid seedlings from the progenies obtained from crosses between donors of high winter hardiness and resistance to diseases and donors of dwarfism (D gene) has been carried out, as well as morphometric parameters have been determined for mass selection of Dd heterozygotes in the early stages of ontogenetic development. Complex donors have been created, which combine monogenic determinated dwarfism with group resistance to fungal diseases; elite forms of clone rootstocks have been allocated for pear and ornamental pears and apples.

The results of the studies of economical and biological features of the first apple varieties created at VNIISPK including Orlovskoye Polosatoye, Orlik, Pamyat Voinu, Sinap Orlovsky and Mekanis in comparison with the control varieties of the appropriate timing of maturation are given. Each variety was presented by 4 replications in twin rows, just 560 trees with planting scheme 7×4 m, vigorous seed rootstock, the year of planting was 1979. The variety studies made it possible to reveal the resistance of Orlovskoye Polosatoye, Orlik, Pamyat Voinu, Sinap Orlovsky to unfavorable winter climate with reversible damage at the level of winter hardy cultivar Antonovka Obyknovennaya. Mekanis and Wealthy showed poor winter hardiness with an average freezing score 3.8 and the death of trees from 57 to 67%. It is found that for 35 years of tree growth, Orlovskoye Polosatoye, Orlik, Pamyat Voinu, Sinap Orlovsky had yields at the level of the high productive control cultivar Antonovka Obyknovennaya. Orlovskoye Polosatoye was much superior to Osenneye Polosatoye in fast fruit bearing and yield. During the whole period of the studies, Sinap Orlovsky gave moderate yields, yielding to Severny Sinap according to this index, but exceeding in fruit quality (marketability, size and taste). Orlovskoye Polosatoye, Orlik, Pamyat Voinu, Sinap Orlovsky are moderately resistant to scab and have marketable and tasty fruit. The varieties are widely grown in the Central zone of Russia, suitable for the intensive orchards and their fruit are in demand from buyers.

Different chromosome crossings diploid x tetraploid and tetraploid x diploid are an efficient method in creating a large hybrid fund of apple triploids. The use of tetraploids as initial forms in apple breeding for creating triploid varieties mandatory involves the study of the condition of their generative sphere and the analysis of ploidy of the hybrid progeny from different chromosome crossings. The cytological control of the hybrid progeny was carried out. The analysis of the microsporogenesis in tetraploid apple was studied. The determination of ploidy of hybrid apple seedlings in the family 6389 (Girlianda (2x)×34-21-39 (4x)) showed 80% of triploid plants (2n=3x=51) and 20% of diploid ones (2n=2x=34). The analysis of ploidy of hybrid apple seedlings obtained from Gorno-Altaiskoye FGUP showed that all the plants had a triploid set of chromosomes. The meiosis study during the microsporogenesis in tetraploid apple 34-21-36 (4x) [30-47-88 [Liberty×13-6-106 (s.s.Suvorovetz)] (4x)×Krasa Sverdlovska (2x)] allowed concluding that this genotype can be used as a pollinator in apple breeding with polyploidy using. The deviations from the norm were observed at all the consecutive stages of meiosis. At different stages of division it was rushing and releases of chromosomes into the cytoplasm of microsporocyte, delay and emissions, the presence of micronuclei and supernumeral nuclei. At the stage of tetrads were formed polyades: pentades, hexades, heptades, octades and nanades. In 36,1% cases the microsporogenesis process was completed by the formation of normal tetrads that after maturing were broken into normal microspores having a diploid set of chromosomes.

The content of pectin substances is one of the typical characters of each plant species. The term "pectin substances" means the following compounds: pectin acids, pectic acids, pectins and protopectins. As gel-formers and emulsifiers pectins are widely used in medicine and pharmacology. Pectins prevent absorption in the body of toxic substances, including heavy metals and radionucleids. Due to the gelling ability, they are used in the food industry for the preparation of marmalade, jam, pastila, jelly, ice cream and fruit fillings. Pectin helps to preserve the jelly natural color and flavor. The article gives the assessment of 15 new apple cultivars of the VNIISPK breeding for the content of pectin substances. The results of the research are presented for 2012...2017 years. It is established that all studied varieties are sufficiently rich in pectin substances. The best genotypes are allocated for the content of pectin in fruits (more than 11% by dry weight): Afrodita (11.4%), Vavilovskoye (11.6%), Orlovskaya Yesenia (11.3%), Zhilinskoye (12.7%), Maslovskoye (11.2%), Ministr Kisilev (11.1%), Pamiaty Blynskogo (13.0% and Sozvezdie (11.7%). The average varietal variability has been determined; the variation coefficient of the varieties was 11.8%. Maslovskoye, a triploid variety of summer ripening, has been allocated. This cultivar is of interest for the further breeding for improved chemical fruit composition, combining higher content of pectin substances (11.0% and more) with the stability of the character (V≤10,0%). Characteristics of the content of pectin and protopectin in fruits are presented. An average content of the soluble pectin in apples was 6.3%, protopectin – 4.5%.

The aim of the work was to reveal the features of winter hardiness in 6 ornamental pears. Ornamental pears including 17-43-30, 17-43-36, DK-2, DK-3, Alaya and Sharovidnaya were studied. The results of the studies are presented. The studies were done at VNIISPK in 2012–2014 with the use of the modern generally accepted methods of fruit crop winter hardiness assessment in the field and laboratory conditions. All of the studied pears demonstrated high winter hardiness of the annual wood increment in the field. Under the artificial freezing the best indications were observed in two objects (17-43-30 and Sharovidnaya), which have three components of winter hardiness (I, III and IV). The genotypes were divided into groups according to the presence of two components of winter hardiness in different combinations. 17-43-30 and Sharovidnaya had the resistance to early frosts in November and early December and resistance maintaining during the periods of thaw. The resistance maintaining during the periods of thaw and the ability to restore the resistance during the repeated hardening after thaws were characteristic of 17-43-30 and Sharovidnaya. Five genotypes (17-43-30, 17-43-36, DK-2, DK-3 and Sharovidnaya) possessed the resistance to early frosts in November and early December and ability to restore the resistance during the repeated hardening after thaws. As a result of the observations in the field and artificial freezing in the laboratory, the most winter hardy genotypes were 17-43-30 and Sharovidnaya.

Due to unstable weather conditions at the beginning initially the vegetation period of sweet cherry variety are exposed to stress factors. In this paper the experimental studies were summarized on the resistance of a sweet cherry variety to spring frosts during 2015…2017. The researches were performed in the laboratory of resistance physiology of fruit crops at the Russian research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding (VNIISPK) in 2015…2017. Sweet cherry cultivars developed at the VNIISPK were investigated. The aim of the research was to study sweet cherry variety the spring frost and introduced plants and to reveal the plants resistant to climatic conditions of at spring period in the middle zone of Russia. The resistance of sweet cherry cultivars to spring frosts was determined by artificial freezing. Early in May, -1°C, -2°C and -3°C frosts were modeled in a climatic chamber. It was determined that in flower buds and opened flowers the pistils perished from the frost while stamens remained undamaged. The resistance of generative organs in sweet cherry cultivars studied to spring frost was identified as - 1°C. Further temperature lowering intensified the damages of flowers and flower buds. The experiment allowed revealing the largest biological potential of resistance to spring frosts developed at the VNIISPK were investigated in "Trosnianskaya"

The article presents the results of studying the productivity of strawberry varieties of ARBTIHN garden selection in the conditions of the Urals (on the example of the Orenburg region).The purpose of the study is a comparative study of introduced varieties of strawberries on productivity and its components and on this basis the allocation of the most productive and adaptive varieties in the Urals. The productivity of strawberries in the Orenburg region is limited, as a rule, by low adaptation of varieties to local climatic conditions. Severe winters and hot dry summers constrain the development of strawberry culture. During the period of the research the winter in 2014–2015 was the most severe one. Continuous frosts in the early winter in the absence of snow cover led to freezing plants and reduce the productivity of strawberry varieties. When comparing the varieties in productivity on average over the 3-year study, Troizkaja, Kokinskaja Zarja and Emelja were distinguished. The productivity of the control variety Zenga-Zengana was 0.21, Orlets – 0.19 kg per plant. These varieties were also allocated on productivity components: number of peduncles (more than 5.0) and fruits (25–30 pieces) per plant, large size of fruits (average weight more than 9.0 g) that confirms the prospects of their cultivation in the region and further selection work.

Strawberry is a popular and profitable crop. The technology of growing strawberry planting material is rather important. The goal of the research was to study the features of formation strawberry runners in the mother nursery of promising strawberry cultivars when grown with a closed root system in a greenhouse in Orel region. 20 strawberry cultivars of foreign and domestic breeding were studied. "Urozhainaya TzGL" was taken as a control cultivar. The planting design was 0.5×0.8 m. Mother plants were grown in conditions of the film greenhouse. Agrotex was used as a mulch matter. The ability to form strawberry runners was studied on the plants planted in 2015–2016. We revealed strawberry cultivars with different tendency to form runners: Clery, Dukat, Studencheskaya, Festivalnaya Romashka, Jonsok and Korona with low tendency to 27 pieces per plant; Marmolada, Florence, Darselekt, Gala civ, NF 311 and Bereginia with average tendency to 50 pieces per plant and Solovushka, Rosinka, Tzaritza and Asia with high tendency to form runners over 60 pieces per plant. By the results of the first term of strawberry runner separation, a reliably high amount of rosettes was in Solovushka, a strawberry cultivar from the Kokino breeding program.

In modern conditions, it is impossible to imagine landscaping and creation of decorative compositions without green plants. In this regard, there is an increasing need in the decorative forms of plants. In up-to-date conditions of market economy when the price of planting material of ornamental crops is growing, it is necessary to find methods of obtaining planting material with minimum cost and maximum percentage of receiving high-quality products. One of the cost-effective ways of growing seedlings of ornamental crops is propagation by softwood-cuttings. The studied species of the Rosaceae family can be rooted with green cuttings, but the biological ability of each of them to this method of vegetative reproduction is different. The dependence of the output of qualitative rooted cuttings on the time of the propagation by softwood-cuttings has been revealed. During the beginning of fruit formation of Cotoneaster lucidus the highest percentage of output of standard rooted cuttings was observed. The highest yield of standard rooted cuttings of Louiseania ulmifolia L. and Crataegus aestivalis. was observed during the end of flowering. During the mass flowering period there was a high percentage of output of standard rooted cuttings of Aronia melanocarpa and Rosa rugosa. The maximum yield of standard rooted cuttings of Physocarpus opulifolius "Luteus", Physocarpus opulifolius "Diabolo" was observed in the period of budding. According to the degree of rooting 3 groups of species were allocated: easily rooting species in conditions of the southern Urals in Orenburg – Rosa rugosa, Physocarpus opulifolius "Luteus", with an average degree of rooting Aronia melanocarpa, Cotoneaster lucidus, Physocarpus opulifolius "Diabolo" and hard–rooted Louiseania ulmifolia L, Crataegus aestivalis.

The results of the long-term studies on the improvement of some technique elements of growing crowned apple seedlings in one-year-old age are presented. Foliar treatments and mechanical methods as well as their interaction with the aim of lateral branching stimulation were studied in the VNIISPK nursery in Orel region conditions. As a result of the research it was determined that not all agrotechnical techniques studied facilitated the branching of the seedlings. The studied vigorous apple cultivars did not show the tendency to the natural branching at the age of one year. Sustainable cutting to lower the height of annual seedlings of these cultivars was achieved in the variants with the use of mechanical methods of stimulation of branching. In the variant with pinching of the apex and removal of the upper 3–4 leaves, there was a significant increase in the number of branches from 1.5 to 3.5 pieces. In this variant the additional foliar treatment of Epin solution for "Bogatyr" induced the increase lateral branch number in the crown up to 4.3 pieces. "Rozhdestveskoye" reacted least to the used agrotechnical methods. The number of branches in the crown of that cultivar was within 1.0 to 1.6 pieces and the formation of 2 lateral shoots was observed only in the variant with pinching of the apex and removal of the upper 3–4 leaves combining with the foliar treatment with Rastvorin. For growing branched apple seedlings at the age of one year it is advisable to use pinching of the apex and removal of the upper 3–4 leaves when the plants reach the height 70–80 cm. For additional formation of lateral branches in "Bogatyr" and "Rozhdestveskoye" it is necessary to use this method in combination with foliar treatments with Epin and Rastvorin solutions in the same period.

A fruit tree is a single organism, the individual organs of which are interconnected and are in a certain interdependence. Indicators characterizing the growth processes of fruit plants are shoot growth and formation of the leaf surface. Fertilizers and plant growth regulators affect the growth of shoots, as well as the laying of fruit formations in the buds of the wintering peephole, the foliage of trees, and they also have a protective effect on biotic and abiotic stressors, which leads to an increase in the yield of fruit crops. All these indicators are interconnected and allow to predict the productivity of plantings at certain stages of the development. The objective of the research was to determine the biological efficiency of Nutri-Fayt agrochemicals on apple trees. The studies were conducted in FSBSI «Orenburg ESHV ARBTIHN». The procedure included the field one-factorial experiment with various variants of applying mineral fertilizer Nutri-Fayt. The positive influence of non-rooted feed of plants by fertilizer Nutri-Fayt was established. The stimulating effect of the fertilizer in a greater degree was displayed on the Kulikovskoye apple variety in a variant with Nutri-Fayt (2 l/ha). When applying the fertilizer, a maximum amount of annual shoots was observed. Nutri-Fajt provided the formation of the greater area of a leaf surface and stirred up the photosynthesizing activity during the vegetation of apple trees.

In areas with sharp fluctuations in meteorological conditions such as the Orenburg region it is particularly advisable to use drugs. One way to reduce the negative impact on grape plants is to use plant growth bioregulators and humic preparations. The bio-regulators and humic fertilizers are characterized by a wide range of biological effects: they stimulate the vital functions of plants, increase productivity and improve the product quality, enhance the protective properties of plants, improve resistance to adverse growing conditions. Every year, the number of new stimulating substances increases, in connection with this, the scientific work is carried out at the Orenburg experimental station, the purpose of which is the selection of stimulating substances that affect the growth and ripening of grape shoots. The maximum growth rate of grape shoots was observed when grapes were treated with Mival-agro; the shoot growth in the studied varieties was from 187.4cm to 188.3 cm. The maximum growth rate of grape shoots was observed when grapes were treated with Lignogumat K; the shoot growth in the studied varieties was from 83 to 85%.
