Abstract
In Hungary, research stations in Érd, Cegléd and Fertőd of Research Centre for Fruit Growing of Horticultural Institute of Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE) as variety maintainers preserve the pre-basic stock collections of their own breeding fruit varieties.
The research station in Cegléd provides certified fruit seeds for nurseries in Hungary, currently 40 varieties of 9 species (apricot, myrobalan, sweet cherry, mahaleb, peach, almond, almond hybrid, apple and pear) are maintained, with more than 3,300 individuals on approximately 20 ha.
Furthermore in Cegléd 28 rootstock varieties of 9 species and 34 cultivars of 2 species (apricot, plum) are preserved as pre-basic and basic stock collection.
In Érd pre-basic stock collections and the basic nursery of stone fruits, pome fruits and nuts are also preserved under isolator houses.
Following species are maintained as pre-basic stock collection (the number of varieties is indicated in parentheses): sweet cherry (20), sour cherry (10), apricot (24), plum (19), peach (23), almond (5), apple (13), pears (8), quinces (3), medlar (3), walnuts (8) and 8 rootstock varieties and it has a smaller basic hazelnut nursery too.
In Fertőd 27 varieties of 6 soft fruit (raspberry, elderberry, red and black currant, rowan, straberry) and 1 rose species as pre-basic stock collection are maintained.
During the 40 years, our laboratories micropropagated successfully several fruits (e.g. apple, pear, plum, sweet cherry, sour cherry, peach, myrobalan, elderberry, raspberry) NDASH forest and ornamental plants.
