ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ВЫРАЩИВАНИЯ РОССИЙСКИХ СОРТОВ СИРЕНИ (SYRINGA VULGARIS L.) В ФИНЛЯНДИИ

Сирень обыкновенная ( Syringa vulgaris L.), является одним из самых важных ландшафтных растений во всем прохладном и умеренном климате, и в Финляндии также очень популярный и традиционный декоративный кустарник. Разнообразие сортов сирени, доступных для использования в научных исследованиях и для выращивания в Финляндии, можно было бы расширить, введя в Финляндию русские зимостойкие сорта. Необходимо изучить их выносливость и выживаемость в финском климате. В рамках совместного проекта в Финляндию были привезены сорта сирени обыкновенной, которые растут в Центральном Сибирском ботаническом саду Сибирского Отделения РАН (ЦСБС СО РАН) в г. Новосибирске. В настоящее время коллекция Syringa vulgaris в ЦСБС СО РАН насчитывает 26 сортов из 116 испытанных, наиболее устойчивых к условиям города Новосибирска. В рамках проекта “Syreenimaja” (2016-2018) в нескольких местах Финляндии были сделаны небольшие площадки с использованием русских сортов для испытания их морозостойкости.

Common lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.), native to the Balkan Mountains, is one of the most essential landscape plants throughout the whole cool and temperate region. It is very popular and traditional ornamental that has cultural value in Finland in landscape gardening [1]. It is a target species in the Finnish National Programme of Plant Genetic Resources and was until recently and also included in the Finnish Certified Plant Production Scheme. The diversity of the lilacs available for research use and later maybe also for growth in Finland could however be broadened by introducing Russian winter hardy cultivars to Finland. In addition to local Syringa vulgaris accessions, current cultivar selection originates in Middle-Europe. However, their winter hardiness is a limiting factor for use of lilac cultivars in landscaping. Winter hardiness and survival in the Finnish more marine climate has to be studied in order to proceed to using Russian cultivars in larger scale in Finland.

A collaborative project (Syringa vulgaris genetic resources) between the Department of Agricultural Sciences, University of Helsinki, and MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Plant Production Research, hereafter Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), was started in spring 2012. The description of the project can be found in the Winter 2013 issue of LILACS [2]. The primary aim of this project was to develop methods for micropropagation and DNA fingerprinting of common lilac genotypes [3, 4]. We worked with common lilac taxa, 10 cultivars of Russian origin from the collection of Central Siberian Botanical Garden Siberian Branche of the Russian Academy of Sciences at Novosibirsk. (Figure 1-10).

Ten lilac cultivars that had proved to be winter hardy at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden at Novosibirsk were micropropagated and rooted on peat substrate 2013 and 2014 at Luke Laukaa Research Station. After establishment plants were transplanted outside to the experimental field on substrate bed in 2014 and 2015. The preliminary results have shown that the Russian lilacs have potential to grow in Finland.

In new project "Syreenimaja" (translating from Finnish to English as Lilac Arbour) from 2016 to 2018, small scale plantings with Russian lilac cultivars were made at several locations in Finland. The cultivars were subjected to the controlled freezing tests. The aim of the project was to test the lilac cultivars that have shown to be winter hardy in Siberia to find modern and winter tolerant range of cultivars with best performance to satisfy the needs of modern consumers and to awake for new the interest towards use of common lilacs not only in old gardens and historical surroundings or in the countryside landscape, but also in new residential and landscaping areas.

Ten lilac cultivars that had proved to be winter hardy at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden at Novosibirsk, were chosen to be used in the small scale garden plantings around Central Finland (62° N at Jarvilinna garden at Laukaa and Schaumannin linna, University of Jyvaskyla gardens at Jyvaskyla and two other public locations at Jyvaskyla and in Helsinki in Southern Finland (60° N at the University of Helsinki area at Viikki in North-Eastern Helsinki). The cultivars were 'Altayskaya Rozovaya', 'Dafna', 'Fioletoviy Ghigant', 'Indiya', 'Krasavitsa Moskvy', 'Krasnaya Moskva', 'Kruzhevnitsa', 'Nadezhda', 'Ogni Donbassa' and 'Pamyat' o S. M. Kirove'.

One Finnish origin of common lilac, cultivar 'Liisa' was included to some of the Central Finland plantations as a local control. Survival and growth of the lilac plants in these plantings in landscape gardening areas in old gardens is being observed. Freeze testing was performed in winter 2016-2017 in December and in the early April, that were estimated to be critical timepoints for the hardiness.

The lilacs planted to the field either in 2013 to Helsinki or in 2015-2016 to Laukaa and Jyvaskyla in Central Finland are still young and have not been flowering broadly. The plantings will continue growing at their locations after this project as far as the plants survive alive, so that also in later years observations can be continued. The preliminary results have shown that the

Russian lilacs grow partly in Finland, but at least cultivar 'Daphna' has suffered from winter injuries both in Central and Southern Finland. The freeze testing results indicate parallel that the beautifully flowering 'Daphna' might anyway not be the best lilac option for example for the Finnish nursery production. In the Finnish climate the growth may terminate temporally, but continues after a while. Therefore, unripened shoots are susceptible to winter injuries.

In the lilac genetic resources preservation work, the external threats of the traditional preservation in open-air conditions could be avoided by the use of in vitro and cryopreservation methods. Screening for improved in vitro and cryopreservation methods for lilac was initiated at MTT in 2012, but further research is required. At the moment no lilacs are yet in long-term cryopreservation at Luke.

A replicated planting with all cultivars was established to Luke Haapastensyrja Research station (60° N at Loppi) in 2019, where the effect of pH on flower colouring will be studied.

We wish to express our gratitude to the Academy of Finland, to Dr. Leena Linden (Department of Agricultural Sciences, University of Helsinki) and to Nikolai and Ljudmila Borisoff Foundation for financial support and to Esko Alm for kindly planting the lilacs in historical gardens around Central Finland.
