The second issue of the series “Northern Agriculture” presents the proceedings of the Scientific Seminar within the Framework of the 100th Anniversary of Northern Agriculture “Genetic Resources of Ornamental, Fruit and Berry Crops, and Grapes” (hereinafter referred to as the Event/Seminar). The Seminar was organized within the framework of the 100th anniversary of northern agriculture as one of the major events in the year of celebrations. The aspects discussed at the Seminar included problems of conservation, studying and utilization of ornamental, fruit and berry plant genetic resources, including grapes; pressing issues of taxonomy, biology, diversity studies, origin, evolution, physiology, and cultivar specificity; latest achievements in genetics and plant breeding; basic developments in the biotechnology of rare and endangered plant species ex situ conservation for the restoration of their natural populations; cryopreservation of fruit and berry crops. The presented materials reflect the history of crop northering in Russia, the modern status and prospects of crop cultivation in the Arctic region, and the role of VIR and Russian research institutions in the development of this sector and the expansion of the growing areas for ornamental plants, fruit and berry crops, and grapes. The Seminar was attended by scientists from Russia and Kazakhstan. Recommended to a wide range of experts in the fields of plant breeding, genetics, and bioresource collection management, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, and young scientists under the age of 39.
