Breeding of subtropical (<i>Diospyros kaki</i> L., <i>Feijoa sellowiana</i> Berg) and citrus crops (<i>Citrus reticulata Blan. var. unchiu</i> Tan.) in FRC SSC of RAS

This paper presents the results of breeding work carried out by Subtropical Scientific Centre Russian Academy Sciences. The purpose research is to improve assortment subtropical and citrus crops. objects were 230 hybrid forms, which - 138 hybrids, persimmons 56, feijoa 36. Currently, breeders FRC SSC RAS are working hard develop new winter-hardy, high yielding, high-quality cultivars resistant growing conditions. sources priority traits have been identified, included in hybridization for development with improved economic biological traits. Over past 5 years, State Register Breeding Achievements Federation has 3 1 cultivar kaki persimmon created Centre. On test promising forms tangerine, 2 form persimmon.
