Global Distribution of Seabuckthorn (Hippophae Sp.) Resources and Their Utilization

The Systematics, Reproductive Biology, Biochemistry, and Breeding of Sea Buckthorn—A Review

“…mongolica, induced irradiation mutant [64,65] Zolotoi klyuchik Tolerant to wilt, medium tolerant to sea buckthorn fruit fly Russia [62] Conventional breeding programs for improving adaptability, tolerance, yield, and quality of sea buckthorn have been undertaken since the early 1900s, and more than 150 cultivars have been developed for culinary and/or medicinal use [79]. Breeding was initiated in Russia in the 1930s and in China in 1985 [61,80] using H. rhamnoides subsp. mongolica from the Altai mountains, and subsp.…”

“…The domestication, however, started further east, in Barnaul in the Altai region of Siberia. Three cultivars ('Dar Katuni', 'Novost Altaya', and 'Zolotoy Pochatok') derived by selection in wild stands from Katun (Gomy Alta) were released in the 1960s by the Lisavenko Research Institute of Horticulture for Siberia [61]. Accessions were also collected and evaluated from a wider geographic area, and additional cultivars were released, like 'Maslichnaya', 'Vitaminnaya', 'Oranzhevaya', and 'Chuyskaya'.…”

“…carpatica and instead is characterized by high winter hardiness, drought tolerance, and disease resistance. Some cultivars have also been developed in neighboring Belarus, including the productive 'Plamennaya' with fruits of 80 g/100 fruits [61]. Commercial production is also undertaken in, e.g., Romania and, recently, Greece, but is mostly based on Russian cultivars derived from subsp.…”

“…Generally, cultivars derived from subsp. mongolica have the largest fruits, like the Siberian 'Elizaveta', 'Agurnaya', and 'Avgustina', which are reported to produce 100-120 g/100 fruits when grown in Russia [61]. In a study of 78 accessions in Northern China, cultivars of subsp.…”
