Abstract

Many crop wild relatives are usually widely distributed species, and in this relation a question arises about selecting populations of special importance for conservation. Using Rubus idaeus as an example, we propose a compound selection of wild populations for in situ conservation. Twelve raspberry populations in the Leningrad region have been evaluated from the point of view of their significance for in situ conservation. To exclude the run-wild forms from the evaluation process, we tried to identify them applying a mathematical model developed by statusmetry method. The constructed model is based on morphological features of leaves of primocanes and helps to distinguish the wild forms from the cultivated and run-wild ones. The wild raspberry populations were screened for plants with features useful for cultivated raspberry improvement such as waxy cover presence, yellow fruiting plants, spinelessness, fruiting primocanes and others. The diversity of wild raspberry populations was assessed by variation of morphological features, presence of botanical varieties and polymorphism of seed storage proteins. The results of viability status assessment for the chosen populations reflect the perspectives of their development and permit to determine the strategy and measures for optimal conservation.
