    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : A wide diversity of cherry varieties are collected in the Latvian and Swedish genetic resources collections, which consists of landraces and selections of local breeders, adapted to the local climate and growing conditions (winter hardy and disease resistant) as well as germplasm that results from years of scientific exchange and co-operation with the world’s leading plant research institutes. The introduction of this material into the breeding programs is largely dependent on the level of characterization. READ MORE
