Synergy

Cooperation with project: Evaluation of fruit genetic resources in Bosnia-Herzegovina with the aim of sustainable, commercial utilization

Project lead in BaH: Faculty of Agriculture and Food Science

Scientific Professional Educational

Project purpose

Project aims Search, collection and preservation of indigenious

varieties of grapevine and fruit crops. Identification, description and evaluation of grapevine

varieties of Herzegovina by genetic and ampelographic methods

Identification, description and evaluation of fruit varieties in Herzegovina by genetic and pomological methods

Virus analysis – state of the materials Development of new products (wine) Analysis of fruit, must and wine produced with indigenious

varieties

Expected results

Preservation and maintenance of endangered indigenous PGR with field collection of identified grapevine and fruit varieties

Gentotypization of grapevine and fruit varieties Identification of synonyms and homonyms in

grapevine Database of collected varieties Virus presence in the grapevine and fruit in

Herzegovina

Expected results

New products (wine) Experimental field for education and

research Publication and scientific conference Cooperation of the young researchers in

BaH and abroad Better interaction between science and

professional field Capacity building

Results: Curriculum development

Results from project (genetic analyses, virus analyses etc) were implemented in the curriculum of Plant breeding, Fruitculture, and Plant protection

Faculty has implemented new module in year 2012/2013, on Master study: Breeding of fruit and viticulture with use of project results in curriculum

Study visits Visit of Institute for grapevine breeding in

Siebeldingen in Germany in 2012 one participant

In 2013 four participants visited: NordGen – the Nordic Genetic Resource

Center in Sweeden University of Copenhagen, Life Science Field

Plant genetic resources

42 varieties of grapevine found 10 varieties of fig Different genotypes of vineyard peach

were identified 16 uncultivated pomegranate populations

in the area of Herzegovina were identified and labelled

New field collection of grapevine at Faculty field in Rodoc

Pomological, chemical and nutritive analysis

Done for the: Fig varieties Pomegranate 16 populations in 2012 Vineyard peach – 15 samples in 2011 and

2012

New products

Microvinification: 8 varieties of grape in 2012 were microvinifacted and 4 in 2013 – done in cooperation with Citluk Winery

Pomegranate juice – analysis Dry fig

Master thesis 1. Pomological and nutritive evaluation of fig 2. Correlation of amphelographic and genetic

characteristics of grapevines varieties from Herzegovina

Bachelor thesis:

1. Ampelographic – enological proprieties of variety Krkosija

2. Ampelographic, genetic and breeding characteristics of variety Mala Blatina

PhD thesis in process

Virus analysis of autochthonous wine grape cultivars of Herzegovina – Ana Karačić

Pomological characterization of autochthonous pomegranate cultivars – Paulina Šaravanja

Characterization of autochthonous Herzegowinian cultivar Blatina – Viktor Lasić
