Abstract

The plant collections of the NDP “Sofiyivka” of NAS of Ukraine including accessions of the subtribe Malinae Rev., formerly the subfamily Maloideae C. Weber (Rosaceae Juss.), are the objects for research in the field of plant introduction and phytodiversity protection. Because of the significant number of park’s holiday-makers, which are not always careful about plants, the posttraumatic regenerative ability of plants is of particular importance for adaptation and periods of the highest regenerative activity could be favourable for vegetative reproduction, including microcloning. Thus, Malinae of the “Sofiyivka” might be useful for germplasm conservation and utilization in the breeding programs.

Highlights

  • The National dendrological park “Sofiyivka” of NAS of Ukraine is situated in the CentralDnipro elevated region of Podilsk-Prydniprovsk area of the Forest-Steppe Zone of Ukraine

  • A significant increase of plant collections, their study and breeding of the most promising accessions for their implementation in the park compositions began after the transfer of “Sofiyivka” to the NAS of Ukraine in 1955

  • According to the mentioned data, the pome fruit (Malinae) collections of the “Sofiyivka” park along with collections of other plants are used as objects of botanical investigations

Summary

Introduction

The National dendrological park “Sofiyivka” of NAS of Ukraine is situated in the CentralDnipro elevated region of Podilsk-Prydniprovsk area of the Forest-Steppe Zone of Ukraine. A significant increase of plant collections, their study and breeding of the most promising accessions for their implementation in the park compositions began after the transfer of “Sofiyivka” to the NAS of Ukraine in 1955. The plant collections of “Sofiyivka” are the objects for research in the field of plant introduction and phytodiversity protection, and the study of the features of the reproductive biology of strange plants in ex situ conditions. They perform scientific, cognitive and recreational functions. The phylogenetic relationships of their cultivated representatives with the wild ones have been refined, taking into account the published data on molecular biology studies [3]
