THE HISTORY OF LILAC (SYRINGA VULGARIS) INTRODUCTION IN SIBERIA
06.01.05 Selection and seed production of agricultural plants (agricultural sciences)
Description
To create the collection of Syringa vulgaris L. cultivars, the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSBG SB RAS) has received from Dr. Z.I. Luchnik green cuttings of 30 cultivars of domestic and foreign selection from the collection of the Research Institute of Horticulture of Siberia named after M.A. Lisavenko, Barnaul (Federal Altai Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnology – FASCA now). Currently, the collection of Syringa vulgaris in CSBG SB RAS has 26 cultivars of 116 tested ones, most resistant to the conditions of Novosibirsk city. The base of CSBG SB RAS’ collection forms 22 cultivars got from Z. I. Luchnik. Descriptions of 3 rare of common lilac cultivars ‘Altaiyskaya rozovaja’, ‘Dafna’ and ‘Kruzhevnitsa’ by Siberian selection of the Research Institute of Horticulture of Siberia named after M.A. Lisavenko from the collection of CSBS SB RAS are given. Lilac's cultivars from the collection of the CSBG were transferred in the collections of the "Kuzbass Botanical Garden", of the Human Ecology Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Kemerovo), to the Botanical Garden of Irkutsk State University, as well as to the Botanical Gardens of Greater Nansi and the University of Lorraine (France). Our introduced cultivars were planted in the Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Chaoyang (Liaoning Province, China)

PROSPECTS FOR GROWING RUSSIAN LILAC CULTIVARS (SYRINGA VULGARIS L.) IN FINLAND
Description
Common lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.), is one of the most essential landscape plants throughout the whole cool and temperate region and also in Finland very popular and traditional ornamental. The diversity of the lilacs available for research use and growth in Finland could be broadened by introducing Russian winter hardy cultivars to Finland. Their winter hardiness and survival in the Finnish climate has to be studied in order to proceed to using Russian cultivars in the Finnish climate. Lilacs that grow at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden Siberian Branche of the Russian Academy of Sciences at Novosibirsk were introduced to Finland within the framework of the collaborative project in 2012. Currently, the collection of Syringa vulgaris in CSBG SB RAS has 26 cultivars of 116 tested ones, most resistant to the conditions of Novosibirsk city. In project “Syreenimaja” (2016-2018) small scale plantations with Russian lilac cultivars were made at several locations in Finland and the freezing tolerance of the cultivars was tested. The survival and growth of the lilac plants in these plantings in landscape gardening areas in old gardens is being observed. The lilac plants are still young and have not been flowering broadly. The preliminary results have shown that the Russian lilacs have potential to grow in Finland, but at least cultivar ‘Daphna’ has suffered from winter injuries. Descriptions of 10 tested lilac cultivars from the collection of the CSBG SB RAS are given
