Nomenclatural standards of gooseberry cultivars bred by the South Ural Research Institute of Horticulture and Potato Growing

The creation and promulgation of nomenclatural standards is necessary to fix the name of a cultivar to its appearance and, therefore, to a certain set of genetic information. According to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, a herbarium sample of the cultivar must be designated as the nomenclatural standard. For the official promulgation of nomenclatural standards, their publication is necessary, indicating the identification number of the herbarium sample and a link to the published descriptions of the cultivar. In the article there have been published nomenclatural standards of 8 gooseberry cultivars bred by the South Ural Research Institute of Horticulture and Potato Growing: ‘Avangard’, ‘Arlekin’, ‘Berill’, ‘Kooperator’, ‘Senator’, ‘Stanichny`j’, ‘Ural`skij Izumrud’, ‘Shershnevskij’. The nomenclatural standards were created on the basis of the gooseberry collection of the Sverdlovsk Horticultural Breeding Station of the Ural Federal Agrarian Scientific Research Centre of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and are designed in accordance with the ICNCP recommendations. The herbarium sample of the nomenclatural standard of each cultivar is represented by one herbarium leaf, which contains parts of one plant collected in two periods: flowers ‒ during flowering; fruits and annual shoots ‒ during fruiting. Herbarium specimens are supplemented with photographs of flowers and fruits. Nomenclatural standards are  registered in the VIR Herbarium database and transferred to the standard fund of the Herbarium of Cultivated Plants of the World, Their Wild Relatives and Weeds (WIR) and to the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources. The created nomenclatural standards can be used as a carrier of authenticity of the genetic information of the cultivar as a breeding achievement.
