S u m m a r yIn 2004 and 2006-2008, a study was conducted on the effect of pollinating insects on the fruit, seed set, and development of two cultivars of blue honeysuckle Lonicera caerulea (Sevast.) Pojark.: "Atut" and "Duet". The experiment was carried out in south-eastern Poland, at the Experimental Farm of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland. Flowers accessible to pollinating insects throughout the whole fl owering period, set fruit at a very high percentage. The study average was 90.57% for "Duet" and 88.08% for "Atut". During self-pollination under isolation, on the other hand, the percentage of fruit-bearing fl owers was low. In the case of "Atut" the average was 9.37%, whereas for "Duet" it was 23.85%. Multiple fruits formed from isolated fl owers had a 45-50% lower weight, on average, than those developed from fl owers accessible to pollinating insects. The pollination mode was found to have a signifi cant effect on the number of seeds produced in the multiple fruit. Flowers which were isolated to prevent insect foraging did develop multiple fruits, characterized by a signifi cantly lower number of seeds. The recent studies confi rm that several cultivars should be planted on honeysuckle acreage. The presence of managed pollinators can increase quantity and improve quality of fruit yield in honeysuckle.

“…The value of this species is due to early ripening, high content of vitamin C [1,2] and biologically active phenolic compounds [3][4][5], which thanks to their antioxidant [6][7][8], immunomodulating [1], antibacterial [8], antiviral [1], antifungal [2], antiallergic and other activities [1] are widely used in medicine [9], cosmetology, food industry and agriculture. In Russia, significant advances have been achieved in selection of blue honeysuckle.…”

A b s t r a c tBlue-berried honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea L. s. l.) of the Honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae) is a high-quality berry plant which has been actively cultivated in recent years in various countries with temperate climate. Blue-berried honeysuckle is valued for ultraearly fruit ripening, as well as high content of antiscorbutic vitamin and biologically active phenolic compounds with antioxdidant, immunomodulating, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiallergic and other activities widely used in medicine, cosmetic surgery, food industry and agriculture. Variation of reproductive ability of L. caerulea cultivars and selections in different conditions of introduction in Russia and abroad prevents realization of potential fruitfulness of industrial plantations. For the purpose of finding out possible causes of decrease in fruit set and weight, morphological full-value of pollen, selffertilization and interpollination were assessed, self-incompatibility of this species cultivars was studied. Blue-berried honeysuckle cultivars of various ecological-geographical and genetic origin widespread in West Siberia and north-east China were studied, which belong to the subspecies L. caerulea]. Self-pollination and interpollination of 8 honeysuckle cultivars (Salyut, Berel', Goluboe vereteno, Zolushka, Tomichka, Parabel'skaya, Pamyati Gidzyuka and Kamchadalka) were studied by data of field research in 1999-2002 on the experimental plot in Novosibirsk. Cytoembryologic research, including that of microsporogenesis products and possible meiosis disturbance of 19 honeysuckle cultivars, was conducted from 1999 to 2014. The results obtained showed a decrease in pollen fertility to 0.8 % connected with anomalies in meiosis. Significant variations in fruit set (0.9-64.0 %), weight and seed quantity were determined by the genetic control of self-incompatibility under self-pollination and in different variants of cross-pollination of blue-berried honeysuckle cultivars. As morphological manifestations of self-incompatibility, anomalies in growth of pollen tubes in style tissues after transpollination of closely related cultivars and autogamy were determined. The main causes of loss cultural plantations productivity of blue honeysuckle may be low pollen fertility in some cultivars L. caerulea subsp. altaica and partial self-incompatibility with the cross-pollination varieties due to their closely related origin. The cultivars for effective pollination of blue-berried honeysuckle plantations were selected (selection from different families). For varieties that are derived from the parent form Start -Goluboe vereteno, Sinyaya ptica, Lazurnaya, Zolushka, Gerda, Berel' best pollinators may be cultivars derived from the initial form of Del'fin -Tomichka, Parabel'skaya, Pamyati Gidzyuka, Vasyuganskaya, Narymskaya. It is necessary to include additional cultivars of pollinators when planting high-yielding varieties Barhat, Salyut, Berel' or new cultivars produced with their involvement which are characterized by low pollen fert...

“…It is also widely known that blueberry fruits contain high amounts of phenolic compounds especially anthocyanins [5]. In humans, polyphenols demonstrate health benefit via two major functions which are inhibition of enzyme activities such as xanthine oxidase and antioxidant activity [6]. The important phenolic compounds found in blueberries are phenolic acids (eg.…”
