GENETIC RESOURCE OF THE BLACKTHORN OR SLOE (PRUNUS SPINOSA L.) WITH VALUABLE ECONOMIC SIGNS FOR BREEDING ON YIELD AND QUALITY

The analysis of literature data allowed to highlight the importance plant Prunus spinosa L. as a valuable source material in selection stone crops and its fruits raw materials for food pharmaceutical industries. Leading scientists have obtained significant number forms varieties terrain, particular Ukraine created variety Donets’kyy krupnyy, CIS such Desertnyy, Velykoplidnyy, Sverkhobilnyy, Sladkiy others. theoretical bases revealed that it is important involve wild species with different ploidy, use hexaploid avoids stage pentaploid hybrids F1. It noted fruit juice called blackthorn or sloe effective prevention intestinal parasites, dysentery, nonspecific colitis, poisoning, also has antiviral antibacterial properties, which relevant during pandemics. Original on results expeditionary research staff Institute Horticulture NAAS, conducted ecosystems Polissya Forest-Steppe are highlighted. shown result analytical fruitful cooperation amateur gardeners, was selected studied. Selected clones were introduced hospital where 2017-2021 studied by morphological features biological properties. found conditions Northern characterized tallness (over 2.5 m), resistance low negative temperatures, large-fruitedness increased weight (Nosivs’ky 1-17, Nosivsk’y 2-17, Horokhivs’ky 1-20). Forms both Western Eastern short stature (height up 1.6 absence thorns, moisture deficiency spring summer, yield excellent taste aroma (Brodivs’ky 17-19, Mukshans’ky 2-14, Poltava late, Halyts’ky 07-21, Poltavs’ky 2-17). Abundant fruiting new 2021 harvest from them evaluate characteristics biochemical parameters. single out most terms quality suitability production.
