Abstract
The goals of the study are the preservation and expansion of ornamental arboreal and herbaceous plants’ gene pool as well as assortment improvement for landscaping under the conditions of forest-steppe of Altai krai. In the arboreal collection of the Federal Altai Scientific Center for Agrobiotechnologies, 46 families, 119 genera, 611 species, 146 interspecific hybrids and varieties, and 471 varieties, including 222 garden roses, are supported and studied. The herbaceous plants collection includes 49 families, 130 genera, and 2990 species and varieties of iris, lily, daylily, astilba, and other common and uncommon perennials. The study objects were 81 cultivars of arboreal plants, 136 bearded and 89 beardless irises, 45 lilies, 26 daylilies, 20 phloxes, and nine astilbe. Nine varieties of arboreal plants as well as 114 herbaceous varieties of ornamental plants (70 beardless and 24 bearded irises, 12 daylilies, 11 lilies, ten uncommon perennials) have been recommended to the landscaping assortment. All recommended plants are decorative, distinguished for high winter hardiness, and pass through all phenology phases of development. As a result of breeding activity, donors of rare flower color have been found for Siberian iris (Lyubimchik Altaya, Lemon Veil, Reddy Or Not, Sultan’s Ruby); Altai varieties of iris (70 varieties for Japanese iris, 15 varieties for Siberian iris), lily (six), daylily (two), phlox (one) have been selected, and a large genetic pool of intervarietal and interspecific hybrids of herbaceous ornamental perennials has been developed.
