Priority trends and prospects of blackberry breeding in conditions of Central Russia by L. A. Gruner, B. B. Kornilov

“…In this regard, improving the existing range of varieties of the culture, increasing its adaptive properties and commodity qualities of berries are urgent tasks for breeders when creating new cultivars. The relevance of blackberry breeding is also dictated by the fact that in Russia its domestic range of varieties is represented by only one modern cultivar obtained in the southern region and adapted, first of all, to it. …”

APPLE BREEDING PROGRAMS AND METHODS: THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT by E. N. Sedov

“…They are valuable in amateur gardens, first of all. Breeders have to develop columnar, scab-resistant and triploid apple cultivars with high quality fruit.In the future, breeding should be aimed at developing cultivars for true-rooted apple and autogamous cultivars with the use of apetalous plants.With regard to the global climate warming, it may become necessary to revise the range of apple varieties and directions in breeding.…”

Alkaloids of narrow-leaved lupine as a factor determining alternative ways of the crop’s utilization and breeding by M. A. Vishnyakova, A. V. Kushnareva, T. V. Shelenga, G. P. Egorova

“…Despite wide prospects for use in various areas of the national economy, unstable productivity and susceptibility to diseases hinder the production of this crop. Obviously, breeders deal only with a small part of the gene pool of the species and limited genetic resources, using mainly low-alkaloid (sweet) genotypes to create new varieties. …”
