Abstract

From August 22 to September 4, 2011 a joint expedition of scientists from Germany and Russia of the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI) and the Nikolaj I. Vavilov Research Institute of Plant Industry (VIR) into North Caucasus has been taken place. The expedition was aimed on collection of fruit genetic resources in this region and their introduction into national collections for fruit genetic resources of both countries. Subsequently, the collected material will be evaluated by the participating partners regarding sources of agronomical important traits in order to provide new resources for breeding purposes.
