Abstract:

The oat and barley collections stored at the N. I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry (VIR) reflect worldwide genetic diversity. This vast array of materials undergoes comprehensive studies in the Institute’s fields and labs, and the best accessions are forwarded to Russia’s breeders. Every year dozens of genetic sources and donors produced or identified in the study process are dispatched to all national breeding centers. As a result, most of the oat cultivars currently listed in the Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation have been developed on the basis of the VIR collection or with the help of the Institute’s researchers.
