16 of Japanese glumeless barley were totally injured by winter freezing. A few accessions from Croatia and France also strongly suffered from conditions during winter. Similarly like in wheat, the weak influence of the year on grain weight and powdery mildew occurrence was observed. Prospective genetic resources of winter triticale A set of winter triticale accessions was tested under conditions of the Research Station in Humpolec located in a potato-production area. The overwintering of triticale in these conditions was strongly influenced by weather conditions (59.3%). On the other hand, the occurrence of diseases (powdery mildew, Septoria) was relatively stable in the years of evaluation. Starch content evaluation using NIR spectroscopy Three hundred genotypes of wheat were used to calibrate a NIR spectroscope for starch content prediction. Ewers method was used as referential.The correlation coefficient for the calibration equation reached r = 0.84. Starch content of most accessions varied within a relatively narrow range (60 – 67%). Higher starch content was determined very rarely, for the first time in modern registered cultivars. Antaris II spectroscope calibrated for starch content evaluation Evaluation of minor crops In 2006, the main attention within this group of crops was paid to buckwheat genetic resources. Flowering started later in Tartary buckwheat (+ 15 days on average) than in common buckwheat. Nevertheless, the ripeness of Tartary accessions started earlier.The highest yield was determined in ‘·paãinská 1’ common buckwheat. Assessment of crops as possible catch crops Four crops Sinapis alba, Phacelia tanacetifolia, Fagopyrum esculentum and Panicum miliaceum were tested for their suitability to grow them as catch crops. The highest amount of green mass was produced by Sinapis alba. Analyses of N min. content in green mass showed its decrease parallelly with an increase in the green mass amount. On the basis of comparison of two sowing dates (late summer – end of August and early autumn – mid-September) the later one was recommended.

Phase 8: Monitoring risks and information databases for sustainable development in agriculture and biological safety The main tasks of the phase are development and updating of databases, improvement of a system for frost resistance monitoring in winter crops and facilitating access to updated information to farmers and to the agricultural community of users. Web applications were developed in the form of searchable catalogues and web pages. Plant Genetic Resources Catalogue in Czech crop collections consisting of 49,069 passport records available at http://genbank.vurv.cz/genetic/resources/ contains information on all accessions included in the National Programme on Conservation and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources and Agro-biodiversity. The ECPGR European Wheat Database (EWDB) http://genbank.vurv.cz/ewdb/ was enlarged by the genus Aegilops in 2006, and it currently comprises 159,434 records. The EWDB descriptor list was enlarged and completed for characterization and evaluation of data inputs. After the last updating the application ‘Wheat Pedigree and Identified Alleles of Genes’ http://genbank.vurv.cz/wheat/pedigree/ consists of 74,527 records received from 3,261 information sources. The linkage between the two above-mentioned catalogues EWDB and Wheat Pedigree was implemented in 2006 and the user value of both applications was enhanced consequently. The new web catalogue Barley Pedigree comprising genealogies and passport data on 6,443 barley genotypes gathered from 99 information sources was published at http://genbank.vurv.cz/barley/pedigree/. Both pedigree catalogues for wheat and barley were developed in cooperation with Dr. Martynov (VIR St. Petersburg). The ECPGR European Arrhenatherum and Trisetum Database http://genbank.vurv.cz/arrh_tri/ is hosted at the Institute’s server for OSEVA PRO Ltd. in Zubfií, which is the data compiler. On-line data directly loaded from an agrometeorological station in the Institute are available in the form of tables at http://www.vurv.cz/meteo/ and visualised in a graphical form for the last 24 hours at http://www.vurv.cz/meteo/meteograf.htm. The web page of the National Programme on Conservation and Utilisation of Plant Genetic Resources and Agro-biodiversity http://genbank.vurv.cz/genet ic/nar_prog/ was complemented by its English version and new important documents were included (Standard Material Transfer Agreement, etc.). The European ex situ Catalogue of PGRFA EURISCO http://eurisco.ecpgr.org was provided with updated information from Czech crop collections, and it currently contains 49,069 records corresponding to the number of available accessions in the National Programme. Monitoring of frost resistance was carried out on old local European cultivars and on newly registered cultivars of winter wheat and winter barley. Results were forwarded to breeders and to the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture. Walter’s climatic diagram was constructed from data recorded at the meteorological station in Prague-Ruzynû. (Faberová I., Prá‰ilová P., Dotlaãil L., Dvofiáãek V., Hermuth J., Pelichová E.)
17 Plant biodiversity conservation in the system of sustainable agriculture and landscaping (MZe âR 1G46066) The project goal is to search for fragments of old crop landraces and threatened wild species used or with potential use in agriculture, and to propose their sustainable conservation in the country using in situ and on-farm methods. The species chosen for monitoring belong to the families Poaceae, Fabaceae and Alliaceae (Allium schoenoprassum). The monitoring was done in the Elbe and Vltava River basins, âeské Stfiedohofií Mts., Jeseníky Mts. and in Central and Southern Moravia. Phytocoenological relevés were elaborated for the target species repeatedly twice a year on permanent marked plots for monitoring.Additional data were collected in the localities: the number of all plants in the population, degree of threat to the site, threat factors, the population health status and ontogenetic phase of the target species. When it was possible, seeds were collected for ex situ multiplication and for gene bank conservation. Several genotypes of Glycyrrhiza glabra from Moravian sites were evaluated in the nursery. Other Glycyrrhiza species were tested for their suitability for introduction into cultivation. Within the programme of repatriation of lost cultivars it was possible to obtain 12 accessions of Fabaceae. 14 plots of grass species sown in 2005 in Zubfií were subjected to regular evaluation according to descriptor lists. 16 perennial grass species were evaluated for vegetative characters of extensive lawns for the use in landscaping and their seed production traits were obtained in the production plots. The grass collection gathered for ornamental use was also evaluated for morphological, phenological, aesthetical traits and growth abilities. Selected samples were offered to the Open-air Museum in Zubrnice, RoÏnov, ·umava National Park, Podyjí NP, Protected Landscape Area Moravian Karst and to one private farmer for sustainable on-farm conservation. Old landraces of grasses, fodder plants, vegetables and medicinal plants from Northern Moravia were exhibited in the Open-air Museum in RoÏnov pod Radho‰tûm. During the expedition to the Novohradské hory Mts. 83 seed samples and vegetative plant parts were collected in 26 visited localities. A project for on-farm conservation of fruit trees in Podyjí NP was elaborated. The occurrence of fruits was mapped in the region of Horní Mar‰ov. Plant material for on-farm conservation was prepared in the nursery of the RBIP in Holovousy: trunk-forming cultivars were grafted onto rootstocks raised from seedlings. A high trunk was grown up and grafted with the target landraces. Landraces for the second part of orchard in Neratov, Orlicke Mts., were prepared in Holovousy.Accessions received as the repatriation of historically lost material from foreign gene banks were regenerated. Fruit landraces were sent to 4 exhibitions. (Holubec V., Chytilová V., Du‰- ková E., Gottwaldová P., Kloutvor J., Marková H., Papr‰tein F., Pelikán J., ·evãíková M., ·rámek P., Schubertová V., Vymyslick˘ T.) Research on the growing techniques of underutilized fruit species (MZe âR QF3223) The grant covers the following genera of underutilized small fruits in the Czech Republic: Vaccinium, Cornus, Lonicera and Hippophae¨ and the research was undertaken in RBIP in Holovousy, MAFU in Brno and RICP in Prague. Various methods of regeneration were tested: vegetative and in vitro propagation. Herbaceous cuttings of all four species were planted to a propagation chamber: 1 380 cuttings of blueberry (16 cultivars), 320 cuttings of Cornus (5 cultivars), 700 cuttings of Hippophaë (7 cultivars) and 980 cuttings of Lonicera (11 cultivars). Their callus formation and rooting were evaluated.The basic evaluation of cultivars was done in a nursery: 29 genotypes of the high-bush blueberry were included. The yield per bush was the highest in cvs. ‘Jersey’, ‘Bluecrop’, ‘Bluetta’ and ‘Coville’. The fruit firmness suitable for transport was the highest in ‘Berkeley’, ‘Nelson’, ‘Bluecrop’, ‘Bluegold’ and ‘Darrow’. The cvs. ‘Rancocas’, ‘Bluecrop’ and ‘Bluegold’ had the best taste. Cornus bushes in the belt plantation comprised 7 cultivars. Growth characters such as height, bush volume, length and number of new branches were examined. The yield of Hippophaë cultivars depends on the shape of the crown and growing technology. The highest yield was noted for Leicora (23.68 kg per bush) and Hergo (16.74 kg).These cultivars with high yield and good fruit quality can be recommended for cultivation: ‘Altaj’, ‘Fialka’, ‘Amfora’, ‘Viola’ and ‘Morena’. Organoleptic evaluation of fresh fruits revealed the following best cultivars: ‘Altaj’, ‘Leningradsk˘ Velikan’,‘Morena’ and ‘Valchova’.The research how to overcome long dormancy of Cornus mas continued from the previous years. Gathering of new materials from collections brought Cornus mas var. macrocarpa from a historical plantation in the RICP park.It has large sweet fruits with soft pulp. The good high-bush cultivar ‘Goldtraube 23’ was received from Austria. For in vitro cultures dormant shoots of Lonicera and Vaccinium spp. were sampled from the field germplasm collections of MAFU in Brno and RBIP in Holovousy. Sprouting buds were sterilized on the surface with mercuric chloride and the tissue was placed on MS medium. Collected materials from Kachatka, altogether 125 samples, were tried to multiply by cuttings and grafting. Defoliation of cuttings appeared to be negative similarly like grafting onto domestic Lonicera xylosteum. An old form of Lonicera kamtschatica was propagated by woody cuttings to get rootstocks highly compatible with target forms. (Papr‰tein F., Holubec V., ¤ezníãek V. et al.) Specification of properties and characteristics of common wheat grain and their relation with feed quality focused on feed efficiency in monogastric animals (MZe âR 1G57065) Due to some pre-project experiments we were able to collect enough data to evaluate selected indirect parameters with potential relation to wheat grain feeding value in the second year of the project. The data originated from four-year evaluation of two subsets (with and without 1B/1R translocation) of wheat DH lines and besides from independent three-year evaluation of a set of registered wheat cultivars. On the basis of this information we proved significant effects of
