Алексей Васильевич Солдатенко Federal Research Center for Vegetable Growing is the oldest breeding institution in Russia, the scientific activity of which began with the Gribovo Vegetable Breeding Experimental Station established in 1920. At present, Federal Vegetable Growing Research Center preserves the traditions established by Sergey Ivanovich Zhegalov (an outstanding scientist, geneticist and plant breeder, the founder of the Russian scientific school of vegetable crops selection, professor of Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy and develops new prospects and subjects. The paper describes the historical stages of development of the national selection of vegetables, based on which methods of creating initial material with qualitatively new economically valuable and genetically determined features are developed and theoretically grounded. The result of intensive plant selection breeders under the guidance of talented managers of the laboratory are high-quality productive varieties of legumes with an optimal combination of elements of productivity, suitable for mechanized cultivation technologies, not inferior to the best analogues of foreign selection, as well as suitable for prolonging the duration of the arrival of domestic raw materials to processing enterprises. The scientists of the Federal Research Center of Vegetable Growing (FRCVG) produced more than 200 cultivars of legumes (including 6 international cultivars) using traditional and new methods, of which 86 cultivars were included in the State Register of Plant Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation admitted to use in 2019 by the State Commission for Crop Variety Testing. Many cultivars created by the FRCVG plant breeders received diplomas and medals of various exhibitions.
