Annotation in Czech
Crop wild relatives and landraces of small fruit species will be assessed for their threat in wild habitats and conservation needs. Native and naturalised species of Czech and Norwegian flora (Sorbus sudetica, Ribes rubrum, R. petraeum, R. nigrum, R. spicatum, Grossularia uva crispa, Hippophae rhamnoides, Lonicera coerulea, Rubus chamaemorus, R. idaeus) will be revised in native sites, characterized morphologically, chemically and genetically in order to analyse their diversity, population divergence/similarity and potential for use in crop breeding. Critically endangered glacial relic in Czech flora Rubus chamaemorus will be genetically compared with the Norwegian vicariant. Individual plants of all species with a higher fruit performance or other characters of interest will be evaluated for properties useful for breeding and as healthy food. Landraces still occurring in landscape will be checked and mapped, and characterized similarly. The need for conservation actions in situ and ex situ will be assessed.

Project results evaluation
The NATFRUIT solved in connection with the approved proposal and the timetable. Concept and workflows were appropriate, methodical approaches combined traditional plant diversity studies with modern DNA analysis methods. The disadvantage of the project was too short time for solution, which reflected in low scientific level of publications. The results are interesting, new and will be used in plant breeding practice. The overall project rating is very good.
