In 2015, the Council of Plants Genetic Resources agreed to include genus Hemerocallis (daylily) and genus Paeonia (peony) into the collections of genetic resources of the National Program. In addition to the selection of plants suitable for the National Program, we started to prepare descriptor lists for these genera in cooperation with students of the Department of Horticulture Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources Czech University of Life Science, Prague. The descriptor list was supposed to cover botanical characteristics of wild species as well as the advanced garden ornamental varieties, because the species of peonies and daylilieas are medicinal plants and it is therefore appropriate to incorporate them in the National Program. At the same time, it turned out that the descriptor list used for Iris is intended primarily for bearded irises (Iris subgen. Iris). However, in the last twenty years, the Czech breeders have specialized also in other groups of irises, especially in Siberian and Japanese irises and Spuria group, which don’t have any beard on outer tepals and have other differerent characteristics from the subgenus Iris. Therefore, we have decided to extend the existing descriptor list to cover the whole genus except bulb irises.

Prevention and importance of ventilator associated pneumonia in the intensive care
Sekerka, Pavel ; Kolář, Martin (advisor)
Synopsis Ventilation-associated pneumonia (VAP) presents a severe complication in the care for the mechanically-ventilated patient and its importance rises with the increasing number of resistant microorganisms, which causes VAP. VAP increases morbidity and mortality of the patients, prolongs their hospitalization and leads to the increase of direct and indirect treatment expenses. Options of treatment are sometimes difficult, costly and inefficient, thereby the need to prevent the occurance of VAP by employing a set of preventive measures is needed. Employing and enforcing those measures can decrease the incidence of VAP and thus to improve prognosis of the critically-ill patients in the intesive care. The goal of the experimental part of this thesis was to audit the employment of these preventive measures in practice. A survey using questionnaires and observing the situation on KAR FNKV have shown, that some measures are performed correctly, while some present a space for improvement, some are performed incorrectly or not at all.

Designing of new classifiers for peony, daylilies and non-bearded irises in the Průhonice botanic garden.
Sekerka, Pavel ; Caspers, Zuzana ; Macháčková, Markéta ; Papoušková, L. ; Koudela, M.
With accepting new genera (Hemerocallis, Paeonia, Iris subgen. Limniris) into National Program for Genetic Resources, a need for creating new classifiers for cultivar description has risen. When proposing classification characteristics, we have resulted from botanical monographies of the genera, existing classifiers and from experience in cultivar description. In creating and evaluation of the classifier we have cooperated with leading institution, Gene Bank of Crop Research Institute, and Department of Horticulture (FAFNR) at Czech University of Life Sciences, which has submitted it as a diploma and a bachelor thesis. New classifiers will be published in 2019 in GRIN Czech database.

Beardless irises, their garden groups and breeding in the Czech Republic
Sekerka, Pavel ; Macháčková, Markéta ; Caspers, Zuzana ; Blažek, M.
Article present beardless irises (Apogon) and its organization into groups. It gives worldwide taxonomic overview and it highlights species suitable for growing in the Czech Rep. (Iris sibirica, I. spuria, I. ensata). It also demonstrates hybridization results of Iris spuria done by Mgr. Milan Blažek and other breeding work from the Czech Republic and natural fenotype variability in collected material. Finaly it show changes in EVIGEZ classification chart for genus Iris, to suit all irises - bearded and beardless, too.
