Introduction
Vital functions of fruits during ripening after harvest is directly connected with biological peculiarities of sort, storing conditions. Biochemical variations in apple fruits during storage determine level of their storeability [1, 2]. Long-term storage success depends upon correct sort, meant for this purpose. Investigation of domestic and abroad sorts identifies their specifity during strorage. Revealing of biochemical characteristics of diverse sots and the most capable varieties for long-term storage will inspire economical efficiency of horticulture and proof actuality of researches mentioned-above.
Objects and methods of the research
During investigation variability of apple fruit chemical composition (10 perspective apple sorts belonged to the collection of Crimean pomological station in Sevastopol) was studied while storage in the fridge. The main research objective was to reveal sorts with the highest level of storeability and highest parameters of fruit chemical composition. The fruits were storing on the shelves in a fridge with regulated temperature. While storing air temperature made 2,0 - 3,0 °C, relative air humidity - 90-95%.
Fruit analysis was carried out before storing and after it. Content of dry substances, free acids (in terms of malic acid), ascorbic acid, phenol compounds (catechines, anthocyanins, leukoanthocyanins, flavonols). Chemical analysis was conducted at laboratory of Biochemistry of the Crimean pomological station using common methods [3], and revealing of flavonoids - by method of L.I. Vigorov [4].
Results and discussion
Study of dry substances in fruits while storing gives an idea about biochemical processes in fruits and their trend. According to studied sorts, in most cases content of these components in fruits reduced by the end of storage, in comparison with data before it. Only in fruits of the following sorts content of dry substances increased a bit (0,7 to 0,9%) : Waine Spur Delicious, Golden Delicious, Spigold (table 1). In fruits of Electra sort this increasing was more considerable (3,9%). Decreasing of moisture level caused rise of dry substances content in these fruits, what was probably connected with peel structure. Sugars level in apple fruits got the highest point of variation (table 1). On average in fruits of all sorts sugar content (both total sugar and sucrose) went down in the end of storing. Though Electra, Spigold, Galia Beauty were marked as sorts with increasing total sugar content. Carola and Waine Spur Delicious didn't change the concentration of this components. Variation of all sorts was quite different. Considerable changes in sucrose and monosaccharide content were noted. Proportion of sucrose to monosaccharide reduces inversely (sucrose content decreases, monosaccharide content increases mainly) in the end of storage. This proportion is extremely different for sorts. As to the following sorts the proportion sucrose:monosaccharide was more considerable (0,19 to 0,5): Golden Delicious, Summerland, Waine Spur Delicious; in fruits of Carola, Spigold, Goljohn, Electra this proportion decreased not much.
Content of free acids changed greatly. On average all sorts had a tendency to decreasing of these substances by the end of storage. Only in fruits of Electra sort their content kept unchanged. There is an assumption this sort is capable to be stored more, as by the end of storing content of dry substances and sugars in fruits was the same in comparison with initial data.
Concentration of ascorbic acid in fruits of two sorts (Goljohn and Ducat) reduced by the end of storing in comparison with input parameters, and it had a tendency to considerable growth for a number of apple sorts: Spigold, Spilove, Summerland).

The main polyphenols in apple fruits chemical compositions are catechines and leukoanthocyanins. Stored sorts differed a lot by content of these components in fruits (table 2). In fruits of Goljohn, Spigold and Summerland sorts a total content of catechines and leukoanthocyanins didn't exceed 126,0 mg/100g, but the same parameters for sorts Golden Delicious, Carola and Electra are much higher - more than 200mg/100g.
Average content of phenol compounds for all sorts was heightened.
Variations of catechines contents in fruits of all sorts is different. In fruits of 5 sorts (Waine Spur Delicious, Goljohn, Ducat, Summerland, Spigold) their concentration was higher in the end of storing, though other sorts (Galia Beauty, Golden Delicious, Spilove, Electra) had this number decreased, and only sort Carola kept the initial data of catechines content.
Leukoanthocyanins content in fruits of 5 sorts was reduced during the storage (Carola, Electra and etc.), Ducat, Summerland and Spigold raised this number. As to sorts Galia Beauty and Goljohn, there weren't reported any considerable changes in the end of storage.
Concerning anthocyanins concentration, it tended to increasing for majority of sorts by the end of storage. This concentration was considerably reduced in fruits of Ducat and Carola.

Introduction
Viniculture as a branch of plant cultivation is of great economic importance, connected with primary processing of vine, one of the most valuable dietary and food staff. Historically viniculture having quite a small share of agricultural territories (up to 4,4% in the Crimea) significantly affects on regional socio-economic development, filling the state and local budgets. One of the principle task for this sector is expansion of table vine production to keep its quantity consumed - no less than 5,2 kg/person/year in the Crimea - and considerably to increase its consumption in other regions [1, 6]. Thereby researches aimed at solving of these tasks are quite current.
High and stable vine crops are possible if to carry out complex of agrotechnical measures, which could provide regular growth and development of vine bushes and protect crop from pests and diseases [1, 2].
At present the principle method of vine plants protection from diseases is a chemical method, which assumes applying of various fungicides - contact and systematic. As to modern preparations, certified for vine plants, there are strobilurines which possess quite important physiological properties besides fungicidal action: phytohormonnal effect on plant growth which results increasing of photosynthesis intensity and its productivity, lowing of plant breath intensity, reduction of water evaporation by leaves. Investigations conducted on annual cultures revealed antioxidant property of strobilurines, which favored rise plant resistance to drought, temperature variation, over illumination and etc. [11, 7, 8, 10].
