Abstract
A collecting mission was carried out over the territory of Primorsky and Khabarovsk Regions in 2017. The goal of this mission was searching for wild species of the genus Lactuca L., and collecting samples of those species. Also, collecting of vegetable crops and cucurbits as well as wild relatives of such crops was important. Finally, 453 wild samples belonging to 8 species of Lactuca L., were collected in their native habitats. In the explored area, Lactuca spp. were found growing almost everywhere, but each species had its own preferable ecotype. The dataset of all collecting spots of the gathered Lactuca species including geographical coordinates of each point was developed. Besides, 243 samples of vegetable crops and cucurbits were purchased at the local markets, and 94 samples of crops wild relatives were collected in wild nature.
Highlights
The territory of Primorsky and Khabarovsk Regions is one of the most interesting areas of the Russian Federation and the Russian Far East because of the richness of the local endemic vegetation
Nearly 16 different Lactuca L. species were described in this area
In the authors' opinion, gathering wild lettuces together with locally adapted vegetable crops and cucurbits which can bear some valuable traits for breeding in order to replenish the Vavilov Institute's collection of plant genetic resources can be a topical goal for collecting missions
Summary
The territory of Primorsky and Khabarovsk Regions is one of the most interesting areas of the Russian Federation and the Russian Far East because of the richness of the local endemic vegetation.
