For the successful functioning of a breeding and nursery center of scientific and practical work with fruit and small fruit crops, an important task is to create repositories, including thosein the field. A field repository is a plant gene bank based in accordance with international standards on planting material that is free from dangerous pathogens, including viruses, representing tested for productivity typical plants.For the purpose of a comparative study of promising varieties, hybrids and clones-candidates for original plants, a field repository and mother plantation of strawberries clones and varieties have been created on the territory of the Federal Horticultural Research Center for Breeding, Agrotechnology and Nursery.As a result of research in 2015-2020, 386 high-yielding strawberry plants were selected and tested for the main harmful viruses using diagnostic kits from “Loewe” firm (Germany). The prevalence of harmful Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV), Raspberry ringspot virus (RpRSV), Tomato black ring virus (TBRV), Strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRSV), Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in strawberry plantations depended on the area cultivation, varietal composition of plantings and ranged from 31 to 69 %. The prevalence of viruses RpRSV (up to 36 %), TBRV (up to 31 %) and CMV (up to 22 %) was established. The high efficiency of dry-air thermotherapy for the recovery of strawberries with the number of virus-free intact plants of 56 % has been shown.A genebank of "candidates for original plants" has been formed from 234 strawberry plants of 39 varieties and hybrids, which, after confirming their status by PCR, will be transferred to the category of "original plants".

Abstract In all times, fruit trees for family use have been grown at Latvian farms. Yet these fruits obtained market value only after the land ownership reform in 19th century. This facilitated rapid area increase of different fruit crops, allowing supply with fruits not only the local market, but also for export to the largest cities of Russia. Especially fast development of fruit-growing was observed during the first independent republic (1919–1940). The demand for planting material increased, and plants were imported from Western Europe. Choice of unsuitable cultivars and rootstocks was the main reason of the massive orchard area loss during the following severe winters. After the Second World War, the Soviet powers supported only the establishment of large orchards for processing needs, 200-300 ha, which were unsuitable for the Latvian climate and terrain. At the same time, numbers of allotment gardens rapidly increased and part of their produce was sold also on the market. After regaining of independence and private property, interest in fresh fruit and berry production for market, as well as processing, renewed. It was hindered by lack of continuity in experience and knowledge. Diversity of terrain, soils and climate all demand considerate choice of suitable orchard location and cultivars. Direct use of foreign experience often led to failure. At present, development of the fruit industry is most of all hindered by lack of qualified specialists of different levels, which does not allow to establish an appropriate consulting system. Cooperation of growers for easier marketing also is developing too slowly. Insufficient economic and market research does not allow to balance the demand with increase of plantation area, especially for large-scale processing and export, so strategic guidance of the fruit industry is not possible. Development of fruit-growing is hindered also by a lack of continuous long-term support to horticultural science. As a result of research by the Institute of Horticulture: 1) new local breeding fruit crop cultivars were obtained and recommended for commercial orchards; variety testing including growing technologies was initiated in different regions of Latvia; 2) monitoring of harmful and favourable organisms was conducted in plantations, with development of a system for prognosis and control; and 3) research results were transferred to growers through practical recommendations, publications, seminars and demonstrations.

Abstract Root pruning is a horticultural practice from ages ago that has potential benefits on tree crop growth regulation and production. It is followed in orchards as a growth control mechanism of vigorously growing fruit trees. The growth regulation in trees is brought about by many physiological mechanisms involving water stress and assimilates partitioning to maintain the root: shoot equilibrium. Root pruning of structural roots increases the function and efficiency of functional roots in trees. It is widely practiced in transplanting of saplings which ensures better establishment. Time and selection of the distance from the trunk by root pruning may play an important role not only on vigour control but also on vegetative response and flower induction, fruit set; hence, they should be addressed as well. However, it will require additional experience, horticultural insight and better understanding of the physiological basis of the technique. It favours the large-scale adoption of root pruning in perennial fruit crops under high-density planting system in order to regulate the canopy size and regular bearing.

The article presents the results of the study of some techniques for obtaining planting material of stone fruit crops (fruit trees). Rootstocks and scions for cherry ( Prunus subg. Cerasus) and wild cherry ( Prunus avium ) mostly of Russian selection together with cultivars zoned in the region were the objects of the research. Winter grafting, including a double one, was used as a method of propagation. Three-component grafting (using intermediate scions) was done in order to accelerate the process of growing young trees for laying gardens of moderate growth power. The analysis of the data obtained during the period of stratification and nursery fields with a planting scheme 70 x 15 cm was presented in the article. The phenological and biometric indicators of grafted plants were described. This allowed us to make a conclusion about the effect of cultivar-and-rootstock combinations on the power of plant growth. The tallest ones were saplings of cherry tree cultivar Melitopolskaya Desertnaya in the control variant of the experiment (grafted on wild cherry). The standard output was 79 thousand young trees per hectare. Weak-growing ones were cherry plants with the scions of cherry cultivar Bordovaya. The output of the standard was 23% less than in the control and amounted up to 61 thousand young trees per hectare. Speaking about wild cherry, the combination of Melitopolskaya Chernaya cultivar grafted on wild cherry with the SL 64 scion could be attributed to the tall ones. More than 75% of grafted trees were 121-143 cm high. Growing of planting material with the use of the winter grafting technique is one of the leading methods of propagation. It causes a more balanced distribution of labor forces during the year and the time of young trees growing become one year shorter.

Greenhouse gas emissions must be cut to limit global warming to 1.5-2C above preindustrial levels. Yet the rate of decarbonisation is currently too low to achieve this. Policy-relevant scenarios therefore rely on the permanent removal of CO<sub>2</sub> from the atmosphere. However, none of the envisaged technologies has demonstrated scalability to the decarbonization targets for the year 2050. In this analysis, we show that artificial photosynthesis for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction may deliver an efficient large-scale carbon sink. This technology is mainly developed towards solar fuels and its potential for negative emissions has been largely overlooked. With high efficiency and low sensitivity to high temperature and illumination conditions, it could, if developed towards a mature technology, present a viable approach to fill the gap in the negative emissions budget.<br>

AbstractThe demands of ecofriendly technologies to produce a reliable supply of renewable energy on a large scale remains a challenge. A solar cell based on DSSC (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell) technology is environmentally friendly and holds the promise of a high efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. This manuscript describes the development of a light harvester system as a main part of a DSSC. Congo red dye has been functionalized with metals (Fe, Co, Ni), forming a series of complexes that serve as a novel light harvester on the solar cell. Metal-congo red complexes have been characterized by UV-VIS and FTIR spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The performance of metal complexes in capturing photons from sunlight has been investigated in a solar cell device. The incorporation of metals to congo red successfully improved of the congo red efficiency as follows: Fe(II)-congo red, Co(II)-congo red and Ni(II)-congo red had efficiencies of 8.17%, 6.13% and 2.65%, respectively. This research also discusses the effect of metal ions on the ability of congo red to capture energy from sunlight.

AbstractIn this paper, a very-large-scale integration (VLSI) design that can support high-efficiency video coding inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) for multiple transform sizes is proposed. The proposed two-dimensional (2-D) IDCT is implemented at a low area by using a single one-dimensional (1-D) IDCT core with a transpose memory. The proposed 1-D IDCT core decomposes a 32-point transform into 16-, 8-, and 4-point matrix products according to the symmetric property of the transform coefficient. Moreover, we use the shift-and-add unit to share hardware resources between multiple transform dimension matrix products. The 1-D IDCT core can simultaneously calculate the first- and second-dimensional data. The results indicate that the proposed 2-D IDCT core has a throughput rate of 250 MP/s, with only 110 K gate counts when implemented into the Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing (TSMC) 90-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The results show the proposed circuit has the smallest area supporting the multiple transform sizes.
