Источники хозяйственно ценных признаков коллекционных образцов жимолости синей (Lonicera caerulea L.)

Abstract

The results of a long-term study of varieties and samples of blue honeysuckle Lonicera caerulea L. in the conditions of Moscow region are presented. The purpose of the work is to identify sources of economically valuable features. 36 domestic samples of different origin were studied. The most valuable forms for cultivation and further breeding work, possessing large fruit content, good taste of fruits, as well as high values of antioxidant activity and content of ascorbic acid in fruits (up to 59.9 mg/100 g) were revealed. Varieties differ in the absence of susceptibility to untimely awakening of buds and the shedding of the fruit when ripe. The varieties of mid-early and middle maturity are different for these characteristics: Lebedushka, Morena, Kuminovka, Lazurnaya, Moskovskaya 23, Gzhelskaya Rannyaya, mid-late and late maturation - Leningradskiy Velikan, Yulya, Fialka. The earliest varieties - Nizhegorodskaya Rannyaya and Tatiana are sources of good taste of fruit and are not prone to bud break in autumn and winter, but their fruits when ripe strongly crumble.
