The history of department of genetic, breeding and seed-growing is linked to development of Kuban Agricultural Institute. The role of B.K. Enken – the second chief of department a famous scientist on breeding and seed-growing is showed

There was described the history of rice growing branch formation on Kuban from thirties to eighties of XX century: from first sowings to the production of a million ton of rice. The role of academician E.P.Alyoshin in the development of Kuban rice growing was marked. There were shown the ways of rice harvest increase on Kuban at present time

In this article, the results of the research of quality characteristics of Russian rice varieties were observed

Hulled rice has a high calorie content, light assimilability and dietary properties. It was shown why just after heavy application of chemical preparations on rice sowings its groats remain clean and are dietary and therapeutic product

The history of department of genetic, breed¬ing and seed growing is linked to develop¬ment of Kuban Agricultural Institute. The role of A.F. Buchinsky – the fifth chief of de¬partment and famous scientist of tobacco breeding is shown

Under conditions of vegetation experiment at soil artificial chloride salinization the dynamics of accumulation and distribution of sodium, potassium and calcium in organs of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) have been studied, as well as their correlation with tissue hydration in ontogenesis. The significant restriction of salinization ions transport and accumulation, particularly sodium, in the actively functioning upper leaves and panicles has been observed. Whereas the content of calcium and potassium in the experimental and control plants differed slightly

Future increase of rice productivity is possible in expense of plant change architectonics. Creation of plants with erect position of leaves allows to compact sowings and to increase the productivity of cenosis. There were studied the rice samples with erect leaves and large grain as an initial material for selection on increased productivity

The anthers of glutinous rice variety Violetta (1400) have been grown in medium N6 producing 72 calluses. Transplanting the calluses to regeneration medium MS gave 7 green fertile plants and one sterile. After 10 months the long cultivated calluses of the glutinous rice Violetta produced regenerated plants. They were passed onto MS medium containing 5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine and 1 mg/l IAA. Clonal reproduction was used for production of more haploid regenerated plants

The history of department of genetic, breed¬ing and seed-growing is linked with the develop¬ment of agronomic faculty of Kuban Agricultural Institute. There was shown the role of S.S. Zamotaylov - the sixth head of the department, scientist-geneticist, specialist in cytology, embryology, experimental haploidy, practical selection and V.V. Efremova- the seventh head of the department, well-known teacher in genetics, selection, seed-growing and variety breeding of field crops as well

In this article results of research of quality characteristics of Russian and foreign rice varieties are observed. Possibility of using data in characterizing germplasm from collection is discussed
