The object of the research were nine varieties of oil flax of different ecological and geographical origin. The Yantar variety, included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements and approved for use in the Volga-Vyatka region, was sown as a standard. The experiments were laid on sod-podzolic medium loamy soil with the following agrochemical characteristics of the arable layer: humus content - low and medium, mobile phosphorus and potassium - from medium to very high; exchangeable soil acidity from strongly acidic to close to neutral. The most favorable abiotic conditions for the accumulation of fat in oil flax seeds were formed in 2024 (environmental conditions index Ij = 3.96). On average, over three years, oil flax varieties accumulated from 37.3 to 42.1% fat. None of the studied varieties exceeded the standard Yantar variety in this indicator. The Abacus variety was reliably inferior in fat content in seeds by 3.1% to the Yantar standard and by 2.7–4.8% to all other studied varieties, except for the Istok variety. The most plastic variety is RFN with a plasticity coefficient bi = 1.54. The most stable in fat content in seeds are the Abacus and Focus varieties with stability coefficients close to or equal to zero.

Nitsa is a new spring common wheat variety of ural breeding

The purpose of the current study was to characterize the spring common wheat variety ‘Nitsa’ of Ural breeding by its economically useful traits and properties in comparison with the standard variety and varieties of domestic and foreign breeding. The study was conducted at the Ural Federal Agrarian Research Center of the Ural Branch of the RAS in a specialized breeding crop rotation, the fields of which present the main range of soils in the Middle Urals region in 2020–2023. The variety ‘Nitsa’, developed by the method of intraspecific hybridization between the parents ‘Ekaterina’ (mother) and ‘Krasnoufimskaya 100’ (father), has been included in the State List of Breeding Achievements in the Volga-Vyatka and East Siberian regions of the Russian Federation since 2024. The mean productivity of the variety over the years of competitive variety testing was 3.82 t/ha, which is higher than that of the standard variety (‘Ekaterina’) by 0.36 t/ha or 10.4 %. In the environmental testing at the Krasnoufimsk Breeding Center (2021–2023), the mean productivity of ‘Nitsa’ was 3.40 t/ha, or 0.42 t/ha (14.1 %) higher than that of ‘Ekaterina’, there was identified an excess over the early-maturing varieties ‘Ekstra’ and ‘Iren’ (5.0–32.8 %), the middle-early varieties ‘Tyumenskaya rannyaya’, ‘Svecha’ and ‘Novosibirskaya 31’ (13.7–17.6 %). It was determined that the new variety formed the same productivity as the middle- maturing varieties ‘Ekada 70’, ‘Dariya’, ‘Omskaya 36’. It was established that stress resistance of ‘Nitsa’ was equal to ‘Iren’ and ‘Ekaterina’ and surpassed all the studied middle-early and middle-maturing varieties. The trait ‘breeding value of a variety genotype’ has shown that ‘Nitsa’ forms a high productivity combined with stability. There has been proven a variety’s advantage according to all energy efficiency indicators. There was established weak susceptibility of the variety ‘Nitsa’ against infectious background to loose and kernel smut, root rots. There was identified that baking properties of the new variety belonged to valuable wheat, and to the third class according to the standards for harvested grain. The research results have shown that wheat can be used in breeding as a source of high productivity, stability, disease resistance and improvement of the baking properties of grain.

Statistical methods to study the relationship of stability of dynamics and fluctuations in winter wheat yields with solar activity

Subject. The article addresses the influence of solar activity cycles on the stability of dynamics and fluctuations of winter wheat yields, on the Orel Oblast case. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship of solar activity in Wolf numbers with fluctuations in winter wheat yield; provide a quantitative measure of the relationship. Methods. We employed statistical methods for measuring trends in dynamics, established indicators of stability and fluctuation of yields, used time series correlation, the M. Kendall's method by the number of turning points to determine the type of fluctuations, tabular and graphical methods. Results. We presented time series of winter wheat yields for 1954–2022 (for 69 years). They include six 11-year cycles of solar activity. Taking into account the historical, socio-economic, agrotechnological conditions of development and achievements of breeding, we examined the time series of winter wheat yields for several periods. For 1954–2022, winter wheat yields increased 3.8 times, the average annual absolute increase was 10 times. The coefficient of determination confirmed that 11.2% of fluctuations in winter wheat yield were due to the influence of solar activity. Conclusions. The study of the variability of winter wheat yields showed that for 22-year cycles of solar activity, only 2% of yield fluctuations were due to differences in deviations of annual Wolf number levels from the average annual level.

Increasing competitiveness of Holstein cattle breed in Moscow region

The Holstein breed of cattle was registered in the Russian’s "State Register of Breeding Achievements Approved for Use" in 1993 (application № 9352682). By that time, its relative abundance was 0,7 %. Over the past 28 years, despite the continuing decline in the number of dairy cattle in the Russian Federation the share of the Holstein breed has grown to 34,7 %, while for the vast majority of other breeds and almost all domestic breeds This indicator has significantly decreased: for the Red Steppe breed to 2,7 % (3 times), Kholmogor breed to 4,4 % (almost 2 times), Simmental breed — to 4,5 % (4,8 times). The relative number of Black-and-White cattle from 1993 to 2010 increased from 45,8 to 57,9 %, over the next 11 years it decreased to 42,4 %.During the study period (from 1993—2021), in our country there was not only a reduction in the number of dairy cattle but also the replacement of domestic breeds for Holstein cattle (Red Steppe, Kholmogor, Simmental and Black-and-White).The results of studies convincingly testify: milk production of Holstein breed increased annually by 29,4—150,0 % higher than that observed in animals of domestic breeds; consumer demand for pedigree Holstein heifers and primiparous is constantly growing while for animals of domestic breeds is declining and in the last 11 years, the annual demand for breeding Holstein breed has increased by an average of 3,7 %; the overall assessment of the body type of Holstein first-calf cows increased by an average of 0,3 points annually and at the same time productivity increased by 206,7 kg per year; if the identified rates of improvement of Holstein cattle are maintained in the near future, by 2026, the milk productivity of pedigree cows of this breed can reach an average of at least 11,0 thousand kg in milk yield, the fat content in milk is 4,20 % and protein is 3,40 %.

Experience in growing selected forms of clonal apple tree rootstocks in conditions of the Southern Urals

In the conditions of the Southern Urals, sowing of seeds of clonal apple rootstocks obtained from open pollination of cultivated varieties growing in the garden of the variety-rootstock trial was carried out. Over the years of selection work on the creation of clonal apple rootstocks for the Volga-Ural region with its sharp continental climatic conditions, it was possible to obtain forms with increased drought resistance and frost resistance of the root system, unpretentious to soil differences, already at the first stage. Compared with the control, the selected forms stand out by increased productivity (by 1.5–2.0 times) in the garden and a high coefficient of rootstock reproduction (Ural 1, Ural 5, Volga 3, Volga 12). Among all the available forms, second-generation rootstocks have been obtained at the present time (OB series and a number of other forms not included in the Register of Breeding Achievements, requiring testing in the garden).

How Food Consumption Trends Change the Direction of Sheep Breeding in China.

This paper discusses how food consumption trends have influenced the direction of sheep and goat breeding, particularly concerning the shift in sheep and goat farming and the development of the Hu sheep industry in China. Historically, sheep have been bred primarily for wool production, but with the increased demand for meat, the breeding direction has begun to shift toward meat use. As a major producer and consumer of mutton and goat meat, there is room for development of the meat sheep industry in China. In this paper, we review the development of China's sheep breeding industry before and after the reform and the change in breeding objectives through examples, summarize the factors causing breeding changes in China's sheep breeding industry, introduce the breeding achievements of the Hu sheep after its shift to meat use, analyze the reasons as to why this breed was selected by a vast number of farmers, and reveal the current decisive traits in the development of the meat sheep industry. This article also shows the improvement in Chinese people's consumption abilities and the change from sheep breeding to consumption, providing China's development experience as an example for today's regions lagging in the global livestock industry. Breeding to respond positively to changes in the economy can better cater to the consumer food market.

THE CONCEPT OF THE SYSTEM OF LEGAL PROTECTION OF OBJECTS WILDLIFE AS A RESULT OF INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY

The problems of the legal regime of the results of creative activity related to wildlife and humans have acquired special scientific significance and practical value in many countries, including Russia and Kazakhstan. Therefore, research on the development of concepts for the adaptation of the intellectual property law system as a sub-branch of civil law, the definition of the legal regime of new wildlife objects resulting from intellectual activity, and their integration into the already existing legal system, have a strategic level of state tasks aimed at achieving a balance of public and private interests, especially in the field of biomedical technologies and genomic experiments that create very significant risks not only for the living humanity, but also for future generations. Taking into account the above, this article presents the results of a scientific analysis conducted in order to develop a theoretical concept for building a system of legal protection of wildlife objects as the results of intellectual activity and to make proposals for improving legislation in the field of intellectual property law. Based on the results of the study, it is proposed to modernize the system of law in the field of intellectual property in terms of objects of wildlife, including new objects in addition to existing breeding achievements, namely: strains of microorganisms, genetically modified organisms, biomedical cell products, genomes, and other results of intellectual activity created using human and animal biomaterials, including birds, fish and other representatives of fauna, and provide them with an independent legal regime. The revision of the last object "other results ..." allows you to leave the list of wildlife objects open in order, if necessary, to introduce another innovative object into the intellectual property system, providing it with an appropriate legal regime, without additional changes to the law.

Sesame, an Underutilized Oil Seed Crop: Breeding Achievements and Future Challenges.

Sesame seeds and their edible oil are highly nutritious and rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Bioactive compounds such as sterols, tocopherols, and sesamol provide significant medicinal benefits. The high oil content (50%) and favorable mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid balance, as well as resilience to water stress, make sesame a promising candidate crop for global agricultural expansion. However, sesame production faces challenges such as low yields, poor response to agricultural inputs, and losses due to capsule dehiscence. To enhance yield, traits like determinate growth, dwarfism, a high harvest index, non-shattering capsules, disease resistance, and photoperiod sensitivity are needed. These traits can be achieved through variation or induced mutation breeding. Crossbreeding methods often result in unwanted genetic changes. The gene editing CRISPR/Cas9 technology has the potential to suppress detrimental alleles and improve the fatty acid profile by inhibiting polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. Even though sesame is an orphan crop, it has entered the genomic era, with available sequences assisting molecular breeding efforts. This progress aids in associating single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and simple sequence repeats (SSR) with key economic traits, as well as identifying genes related to adaptability, oil production, fatty acid synthesis, and photosynthesis. Additionally, transcriptomic research can reveal genes involved in abiotic stress responses and adaptation to diverse climates. The mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) can identify loci linked to key traits such as capsule size, seed count per capsule, and capsule number per plant. This article reviews recent advances in sesame breeding, discusses ongoing challenges, and explores potential strategies for future improvement. Hence, integrating advanced genomic tools and breeding strategies provides promising ways to enhance sesame production to meet global demands.

Productivity of Certain Varieties of Apples and Importance of Their Gene Formation

Due to the diversity of its natural and historical conditions, Azerbaijan is one of the centers of the initial formation of many plants, having a great genetic richness of the plant world. A large number of valuable varieties and forms of food and agricultural plants have been created through folk selection and scientific selection, with the history of agriculture covering several millennia. However, massive and anthropogenic disturbances of all these natural and cultural heritage ecosystems, which are the irreplaceable wealth of the people, created a large number of valuable varieties and forms of ecological and agricultural plants. However, all this natural and cultural heritage, which is the irreplaceable wealth of the people, is threatened with destruction as a result of mass and anthropogenic disturbances of ecosystems, ecological and agricultural changes, and the wide application of modern breeding achievements. In addition to all this, the study, protection, and effective use of the gene pool of the apple plant in the country is one of the main factors. In this regard, based on our long-term research, with the efficient use of the gene pool of the apple plant in Azerbaijan, new “spur”-type selection varieties (Nigar, Ziya, Zirva, Marfa, Sulh, Gobustan, Zumrud, Kyzyld Taj, Khazar, Eldar, Ulvi, Nübar, Vatan, Makhmari, Nuran, Sarvan, Chiraggala, Davamli, Emil, Elvin, Paizliq Guba, Zizliq Guba, Shabran, Sadaf and Sevinj) were created by us. In the article, the parental pairs of those cultivars are reflected in the ripening period, ripening, fruiting periods, tree parameters (height, diameter of the umbel, circumference of the stem), productivity indicators, leaf surface, infection rates of scab disease, average mass of fruits and tasting prices. At the same time, the article contains the introduction, research conditions, methodology, material, results, discussion, recommendations, and used literature sources.

Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms in BMP-2 gene and their associations with productive traits in Rainbow Trout

Relevance. Aquaculture is occupying an increasingly important place in fish farming, as it allows obtaining more products per unit area. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the development of new breeds of Rainbow Trout in order to obtain fish forms adapted to aquaculture conditions. One of the significant breeding achievements is the Ropshinsky golden trout, characterized by attractive scale coloration. Taking into account the emergence of such forms of fish, research to identify genetic characteristics is of particular relevance. The BMP-2 gene is an important determinant of fish growth and development, so a comprehensive study of its structure will allow us to identify the most favorable genotypes in producers for their use in further selection and breeding.Results. The aim of the work is to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the studied gene and link their presence in parental forms with their productive traits. In particular, after sequencing, several SNPs were identified in different positions both in the intron and exon regions of the gene. The frequencies of occurrence of genotypes in parents were calculated and a number of quantitative traits were measured in the offspring numbered of 50 individuals from each crossing pair. In some cases, it was possible to establish statistically significant associations between the identified SNPs and productive traits in females and males — the parents of the resulting offspring. In females, an association was established between head length and SNP in one gene region, and in males, an association of another polymorphism with ejaculate volume has been demonstrated.

Since 2023, there have been included the white grained sorghum variety ‘Esaul’ and the sorghum-Sudan hybrid ‘Dobrynya’. There have been developed and are currently undergoing the state variety testing the grain sorghum variety ‘Sotnik’ and the Sudan grass ‘Kudesnitsa’, the sorghumSudan hybrid ‘Gordey’, the sweet sorghum variety ‘Orfey’ and the hybrid ‘Duet’.

History of apple breeding and breeding achievements at FSBSO ARHCBAN

New apple varieties should possess a set of adaptive traits that provide yield, stable fruiting, and highly marketable fruits with a long period of postharvest storage, thus ensuring the profitability of their use in industrial plantings. According to the State Register, the central region of the Russian Federation is one of the leading regions in terms of the number of apple varieties approved for use. Long-term research of scientists and specialists from FSBSO ARHCBAN has greatly contributed to the development and improvement of the assortment both in the region and beyond. The key directions for apple breeding at the institution include improving winter hardiness, resistance to scab, and the columnar shape of the crown. The review article presents the history of shaping the directions for breeding work and modern achievements of FSBSO ARHCBAN in apple breeding, as well as an analysis of the long-term focused scientific activity of breeders. The most significant breeding results were achieved by Prof. V. Kichina, who, together with his students and followers, was the first in Russia to create several columnar apple varieties that offer high winter hardiness, resistance to scab, and marketable qualities of fruits (‘Dialog’, ‘Lukomor’, ‘Malyukha’, ‘Ostankino’, ‘President’, and ‘Chervonets’), as well as fundamentally new high-yielding varieties with a conventional crown shape that possess high adaptability and resistance to pathogens (‘Arkadik’, ‘Legendа’, ‘Marat Busurin’, and ‘Mayak Zagorye’). The article presents the main characteristics of breeding achievements of the last decades: tree crown shape; ripening time of fruits and their qualitative and quantitative indicators (tasting evaluation, average weight, shape, etc.); yield; resistance to abiotic and biotic factors. Data are presented on the use of apple varieties bred by FSBSO ARHCBAN both in agricultural production (on the basis of license agreements) and in scientific and technological cooperation with Russian National Research Universities (inclusion in breeding programs). The apple breeding activities conducted at FSBSO ARHCBAN are described, and the main directions for breeding work are outlined.

<i>Heracleum sosnowskyi</i> (Apiaceae): eradication or wise utilization of plant raw Materials?

The uncontrolled spreading of the monodominant colonies of Sosnowsky's hogweed Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. (Apiaceae) in Russia made the researchers look for methods of using its biomass in various sectors of the economy, which should prevent its further spread. The proposed methods of using plant biomass and technologies for obtaining useful substances from H. sosnowskyi have been developed regardless of inevitable changes in populations’ characteristics: in populations on abandoned lands that are currently unaffected by anthropogenic disturbance, under regular utilization the regeneration will decrease, resulting in reduced yields and profitability of production. It is possible to maintain a high yield of hogweed necessary for its utilization only under strictly controlled cultivation, which prevents its “escape”; however, it is not possible now, as this species has been removed from the State Register of Breeding Achievements Approved for Use. At the same time, there is a sufficient range of alternative sources of raw materials that contain useful substances, which are suggested to be obtained from H. sosnowskyi. Harvesting of H. sosnowskyi for raw materials from the roadside treelines and small rivers' riparian areas is so much a problem, that it is not considered in publications, although these particular ecotopes are the constant foci of ongoing invasion. Due to the uncontrolled spread of the H. sosnowskyi, the biodiversity of agricultural lands, including wild-growing food, technical and medicinal plants (including wild relatives of cultivated plants) are under threat.

Aim. To develop and scientific and organizational approaches to advertising, consulting support, and the transfer of innovative developments in the agricultural market of knowledge-intensive products in the Kyiv region. Methods. In research were used dialectical, abstract-logical, economic-statistical, system-theoretical, comparative, and retrospective analytical methods. Results. The analysis of market conditions from 2021 to 2023 revealed that foreign varieties of soybeans, winter rape, spring rape, corn, and fodder beet are seriously competing with domestic varieties of soybeans, corn, and fodder beet. Domestic research institutions are leading in breeding varieties of winter wheat, buckwheat, winter rye, millet, beans, oil flax, long flax, and lupine, with the breeding achievements of the IAS NAAS being suitable for distribution in Ukraine. The Institute’s innovative developments in agriculture focus on protecting soils and increasing their fertility. In crop production, they aim to create highly efficient technologies for growing cereals, legumes, and fodder crops. In breeding, the focus is on developing new varieties, hybrids, and lines. From 2021 to 2023, 31 scientific developments were tested, including 2 in the field of agriculture and 29 in crop production. This includes 2 crop production technologies and 27 plant varieties and hybrids. Additionally, 59 innovations were introduced: 3 in the field of agriculture and 56 in crop production, including 18 technologies and 38 varieties and hybrids. To address practical problems in the field of scientific support for innovative agricultural development in the region, our institution developed and conducted several activities related to scientific and advisory support. Scientific and methodological provisions for organizing information and advisory support for the Kyiv region’s agricultural enterprises were developed. The system and methods for promoting and advertising the scientific developments of the IAS NAAS were improved, and a network for disseminating agricultural information and providing advice on various agricultural issues was established. To promote the latest scientific and innovative projects, 9 conferences were held over the past three years, including 5 international and 4 national ones. Additionally, there was 1 scientific and practical seminar, 5 exhibitions (1 international and 4 national), 2 Field Days, and 1 workshop. Conclusions. Scientific and advisory support plays a key role in creating a favorable environment for innovative development, contributing to sustainable economic growth and increasing the competitiveness of agricultural production.
