Abstract
On the southern slopes of the Carpathians around the cities of Uzhgorod and Mukachevo, there are especially favourable conditions for fruit growing. Different species and forms, undoubtedly worth protecting as a valuable genepool can often be found in the wild state. These plants have been studied in the field and used in selection. Nobody has yet practised stone-fruit selection in Transcarpathia, though in Ukraine and neighbouring Moldova Ryabov & Kostina (1969), Shaitan (1967), Sokolova (1987), and Smykov (1989) have been successful in this work. Over the last 30 years we have done a great deal of work on the introduction of new germplasm, variety testing and selection of stone-fruits (Zayats 1988).
