Nomenclatural standards of strawberry cultivars bred by Sverdlovsk Horticultural Breeding Station

Abstract

The article informs on the nomenclatural standards of 8 strawberry cultivars bred by Sverdlovsk Horticultural Breeding Station: ‘Akvarelʹ’ (WIR-108162), ‘Altyn’ (WIR-108163), ‘Viola’ (WIR-108166), ‘Gejzer’ (WIR-108167), ‘Darenka’ (WIR-108168), ‘Due`t’ (WIR-108169), ‘Torpeda’ (WIR-108171), ‘Forsazh’ (WIR-108172). Plant material for nomenclatural standards was selected and identified in the collection of the originator organization by the curator of the strawberry collection. The herbarium sample of the nomenclatural standard of each cultivar is represented by herbarium sheet containing parts of one plant collected in two periods: flowers ‒ during the flowering period; fruits and annual shoots ‒ during the fruiting period. The herbarium label indicates: the herbarium number of the sample in the VIR Herbarium, the scientific name of the species, the name of the cultivar, the origin (the name of the organization in which the cultivar was created), the place of reproduction (where the plant was grown), the dates of collecting, the names of collectors. Herbarium sheets are supplemented with photos of fruits, flowers and general habitus of the plant. Nomenclature standards are made in accordance with the recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), registered in the database "VIR Herbarium" and included in the type collection of Herbarium of cultivated plants of the world, their wild relatives and weeds (WIR). The nomenclatural standards store the original genetic and morphological information on the studied strawberry cultivars and serve as an official document of the cultivar as a breeding achievements.
