Abstract The evaluation of cultivars of red and white currant (Ribes rubrum L.) was carried out in 2019–2020 at the Polli Horticultural Research Centre of the Estonian University of Life Sciences, South-Estonia. The aim of this study was to estimate traits of red and white currant cultivars of both Estonian and introduced origin. An evaluation plot was established in the autumn of 2016. During two consecutive years (2019–2020), 11 promising cultivars were evaluated for the beginning of flowering and fruit ripening, winter hardiness, resistance to diseases (expressed in scores 1–9), yield per bush, fruit weight, drop of flowers and premature berries, as well as the content of the soluble solids (°Brix), titratable acids, ascorbic acid, total phenols and total anthocyanins. The highest yield was determined in cultivars ‘Bayana’ and ‘Viksnes’, while cvs. ‘Rovada’, ‘Jonkheer van Tets’, ‘Kurvitsa 4’ and ‘Valko’ had larger berries. The highest soluble solid content was found in the berries of red currant ’Krameri punane’ (13.8 °Brix) and white currant ’Bayana’ (12.4 °Brix).
2019-2020年,在爱沙尼亚南部生命科学大学Polli园艺研究中心对红醋栗和白醋栗(Ribes rubrum L.)品种进行了评价。本研究的目的是估计红醋栗和白醋栗品种的性状既有爱沙尼亚和引进原产地。2016年秋季建立了一个评估地块。在连续两年(2019-2020)期间,对11个有前景的品种进行了开花和成熟、耐寒性、抗病性(以分数1-9表示)、每丛产量、果实重量、落花和早熟浆果,以及可溶性固形物(°Brix)、可滴定酸、抗坏血酸、总酚和总花青素含量的评估。产量最高的品种是‘Bayana’和‘Viksnes’;“Rovada”、“Jonkheer van Tets”、“Kurvitsa 4”和“Valko”的浆果更大。可溶性固形物含量最高的是红醋栗' Krameri punane '(13.8°糖度)和白醋栗' Bayana '(12.4°糖度)的浆果。

Abstract Pears (Pyrus communis L.) are not native plant species in Latvia but have a long history of introduction and growing, using various sources of plant material over time. Therefore, the existing collection of genetic resources combines accessions of different origin. To plan the further development of this crop and to ensure its successful preservation, this study aimed to characterise the Latvian Pyrus germplasm collection using SSR molecular markers and to estimate the level of genetic diversity within the pear germplasm collection. Six SSR markers were used to genotype 206 pear accessions of different origin, such as cultivars and hybrids bred in Latvia, landraces collected during expeditions throughout the country, and introduced foreign cultivars. The marker set identified 197 accessions with unique genotypes, and enabled a comparison of different origin groups, and an assessment of genetic diversity. Allele numbers ranged from 15 to 28 for the markers used, whereas observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.519 to 0.956. Grouping of accessions according to geographical origin was not observed. However, the genetic background of Latvian samples was entirely in alignment with international germplasm.
梨(Pyrus communis L.)不是拉脱维亚的本土植物物种,但具有悠久的引进和种植历史,随着时间的推移,使用各种植物材料来源。因此,现有的遗传资源集合将不同来源的材料组合在一起。为了规划该作物的进一步开发并确保其成功保存,本研究旨在利用SSR分子标记对拉脱维亚梨种质资源进行表征,并估计梨种质资源的遗传多样性水平。利用6个SSR标记对不同来源的206份梨材料进行基因分型,包括拉脱维亚的品种和杂交种、在全国各地考察收集的地方品种和引进的国外品种。该标记集鉴定出具有独特基因型的197份材料,并对不同来源群体进行了比较和遗传多样性评估。等位基因数为15 ~ 28,杂合度为0.519 ~ 0.956。没有观察到根据地理来源对加入国进行分组。然而,拉脱维亚样品的遗传背景与国际种质资源完全一致。

Abstract Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a native species in various regions of Asia and Europe. It is cultivated as a multipurpose horticultural species in northern temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America with large economic potential used for food, pharmacology, cosmetics, and environmental conservation. Diseases in natural populations and managed landscapes have increased, endangering sea buckthorn growth and cultivation worldwide. This review article focuses on sea buckthorn canker, wilt and decline diseases caused by pathogenic fungi, their distribution, hosts of involved pathogenic fungi and symptoms. Published information on sea buckthorn fungal diseases is available only about a few diseases, such as wilt (Verticillium dahliae), the dried-shrink disease caused by various fungi and abiotic factors, and stem canker (Hymenopleella hippophaeicola, Cytospora spp., Stigmina sp.). Some fungi reported on sea buckthorn are poorly studied, or the sea buckthorn is a newly discovered host, as in the case of Eutypa spp. The most often reported symptoms of these diseases are cankers and cracks on trunks and main branches, dead buds and leaves, necrosis of various tissues on branches, and root necrosis, resulting in the death of the shrubs. In general, the fungal diseases on sea buckthorn are not sufficiently addressed, and more research is needed.

Abstract Content of leaf pigments such as chlorophyll a and b, chlorophyll a+b and carotenoids can provide valuable insight into the physiological performance of plants. These compounds have selective proprieties for light absorption and reflectance in the visible spectra that can be used to evaluate alternative methods to biochemical to estimate their content. Numerous studies in the literature have established correlations between these compounds, spectral reflectance and vegetation indices. Nevertheless, the appropriate use of these indices depends on plant species and cultivars. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the most common vegetation indices for the estimation of chlorophyll a and b, chlorophyll a+b and carotenoids of three olive tree cultivars (Olea europaea L, cv. Cobrançosa, cv. Verdeal Transmontana and cv. Madural) under six irrigation treatments, using spectroscopy. The results showed that the correlation between leaf pigments and vegetation indices depends not only on the type of pigment but also on the cultivar. Among the studied cultivars, cv. Cobrançosa showed the best correlation between the “M Locherer chlorophyll” index (MLO) and chlorophyll a content (r2 = 0.66) and for the carotenoid reflectance index (CRI) 2 and carotenoids content (r2 = 0.87). Although the results are preliminary, it seems that vegetation indices could be a useful tool for leaf pigment evaluation, and to give information about plant interactions with biotic and abiotic environmental stress conditions.

Abstract European wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.) syn. wood garlic, ramsons or bear’s garlic is a perennial plant that is common in Europe and Asia, but rare in the Mediterranean region. Bear’s garlic is included in the Latvian Red Data Book. The plant species has high commercial value and a high amount of biologically active compounds. Because of the conservation status of wild populations, raw material should be obtained by cultivation. For the experiment, leaves of six accessions of bear’s garlic from the ex situ collection of medicinal and aromatic plants at the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, were used. The aim of this study was to identify the individual phenolic compounds in bear‘s garlic leaves. The composition of the phenolic profile was determined using a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) Shimadzu Nexera LC-40 with diode-array detector (DAD). Overall, 18 phenolic compounds (gallic acid, 3.5-diOHbenzoic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, epicatechin, homovanillic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, vanillin, p-coumaric acid, rutin, sinapic acid, ferulic acid, 2-OHcinnamic acid, quercetin, luteolin, and kaempferol) were detected in the samples. The gallic acid was the predominant phenolic compound, with a range in concentration from 75.8 mg·100 g−1 to 322.5 mg·100 g−1 in bear’s garlic.

Abstract Wild fruits are essential genetic resources for fruit breeding and have either been domesticated or used to introgress disease resistance and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. Numerous studies have previously described the health benefits of wild berry fruits and reported their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activity. Turkey has a rich plant biodiversity thanks to its geographic location and encirclement by three seas, leading to a wide variety of climates. The great ecological diversity of the wild berry species in Turkey is a significant bio-gene pool that is vital to human life and can serve as a source of agricultural development in the future. This review aims to introduce some of the wild edible berry species naturally occurring in Turkey such as Morus spp., Hippophae rhamnoides L., Viburnum opulus L., Rubus idaeus L., Rubus fruticosus L., Sambucus nigra L., Vaccinium spp., Arbutus unedo L., Ribes spp., and Fragaria vesca L., and describe their distribution, uses, and fruit characteristics. Conservation of these wild fruit genetic resources is necessary for use in breeding for novel traits.

Abstract The paper considers the possibilities of expanding the assortment of plum cultivars in world production by hybridising large-fruited myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) cultivars with those of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) and other diploid stone fruit species. Because of many years of breeding work in Russia, cultivars of a new hybridogenous species Prunus × rossica Erem. (Russian plum) have been created, which can ensure a stable supply of fresh fruit from late June to September and complement the assortment of common plum cultivars. A description is given for the best adaptive, high-yielding cultivars with good taste and high canning qualities — ‘Kubanskaya Kometa’, ‘Globus’, ‘Gek’, ‘Iyulskaya Roza’, ‘Dynnaya’, ‘Kolonnovidnaya’, and ‘Podarok Sad-Gigantu’. The efficiency of their cultivation using intensive technologies and own-rooted plants, as well as clonal rootstocks bred at the Krymsk Station, has been shown. It is recommended to carry out intensive cultivation of Russian plum using medium vigorous rootstocks like Kuban 86, Evrika 99, Zarevo, Fortuna and dwarf rootstocks VVA 1, Best, Upryamets and VSV 1.

Abstract Proximal femoral fractures are typical injuries in the elderly population. We conducted a retrospective study to estimate postoperative mortality and risk factors affecting patient outcomes at Tartu University Hospital. We retrospectively evaluated patients who were hospitalised in 2017 with a proximal femoral fracture diagnosis and who were operated (osteosynthesis, partial and total hip replacement). In the study we included 313 patients of 361 (219 women and 94 men). We did not find statistically significant difference between the choice of anaesthesia and mortality or between the time getting to the OR and mortality. Cognitive impairment and postoperative delirium were significantly associated with increased one-year mortality was 37% (p < 0.05). In the group of the patients who did not have postoperative delirium the overall mortality was 15%. 23% of the patients had preoperatively cognitive impairment, and 45.8% of them died in the first year after the operation (p < 0.001). Mortality of patients who did not have cognitive impairment was 14%. As the sample group of patients included in the study was small, further investigation should encompass a larger group in the future.

We conducted a retrospective study to estimate postoperative mortality and risk factors affecting patient outcomes at Tartu University Hospital. We retrospectively evaluated patients who were hospitalised in 2017 with a proximal femoral fracture diagnosis and who were operated (osteosynthesis, partial and total hip replacement). In the study we included 313 patients of 361 (219 women and 94 men). We did not find statistically significant difference between the choice of anaesthesia and mortality or between the time getting to the OR and mortality. Cognitive impairment and postoperative delirium were significantly associated with increased one-year mortality was 37% (p < 0.05). In the group of the patients who did not have postoperative delirium the overall mortality was 15%. 23% of the patients had preoperatively cognitive impairment, and 45.8% of them died in the first year after the operation (p < 0.001). Mortality of patients who did not have cognitive impairment was 14%. As the sample group of patients included in the study was small, further investigation should encompass a larger group in the future.","PeriodicalId":20651,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences.
