Cultivars of green bean for the Northwestern region of Russia

Abstract

Based on the rules and recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, nomenclatural standards were prepared for three green bean cultivars ‘Elizaveta’, ‘Uspekh’, and ‘Rebus’ bred at the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR). The nomenclatural standards were designed as herbarium sheets, three per cultivar for ‘Elizaveta’ and ‘Rebus’, and four sheets for cv. ‘Uspekh’. Each sheet contains parts of one plant supplemented with photographs of beans, seeds and flowers of each green bean cultivar. Nomenclatural standards were registered in the VIR Herbarium database and deposited in the nomenclatural types section of the Herbarium of cultivated plants of the world, their wild relatives and weeds (WIR) and the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources of Russia.
