Možnosti využití arbuskulární mykorhizy při rozmnožování vybraných odrůd angreštu
Střihavková, Dana
This diploma thesis deals with usage of arbuscular mycorrhiza in the reproduction of selected varieties of gooseberries in plant nursery. The experiment was established in Brno in autumn 2018 and was completed in spring of the following year. In total, 60 plants of the ´Black Negus´, ´Carat´ and ´Rolonda´ varieties were evaluated, with half of the plants being inoculated with mycorrhizal fungus and the other half without mycorrhiza, as control plants. The following parameters were evaluated: extent of root colonization by mycorrhizal structures, content of chlorophyll, relative size of the root system, dry matter in the root system, substrate temperature and substrate humidity, root collar diameter and shoot length. The results show that inoculation with mycorrhizal fungus influenced the plant root system in positive way, which was reflected in the increase in root collar diameter. The inoculation with mycorrhizal fungus should also have a positive effect on the growth of the aerial part of the plant, the health and plant resistance to drought and pathogens.

This diploma´s thesis deals with the determination of total antioxidant activity of red and white gooseberries and red, white and black currants. There are available information about small fruits, an overview of natural and synthetic antioxidants and a summary of the methods to determine the total antioxidant activity in the theoretical part. Frozen fruit samples were provided by Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology Holovousy Ltd. in the project QI111A141 – Research of new technologies in the cultivation of gooseberries and currants with a focus on quality and use of fetuses (Ministry of Agriculture). The total antioxidant activity of red and white gooseberries and currants was measured by spectrophotometric methods using free radicals ABTS•+ and DPPH and was expressed as a Trolox equivalent. The total antioxidant activity of black currants was measured by electron paramagnetic resonance using free radicals ABTS•+ and DPPH and expressed as a TEACABTS and a TEACDPPH. There were measured 8 species of red gooseberries, 6 species of white gooseberries, 12 species of red currants, 6 species of white currants and 8 species of black currants in this thesis. The highest values of total antioxidant activity showed species of red and white gooseberries Alan, Karmen, Pax and Invicta and species of red and white currants Rovada, Orion and Olin. Among black currants, species Ometa and Ruben had the highest values of total antioxidant activity.

This diploma thesis deals with the most significant fungal pathogens Podosphaera mors-uvae, Cronartium ribicola and Drepanopeziza ribis, which can be commonly identified on currants and gooseberries in our climatic conditions. There are descriptions of various pathogens, how they spread and survive throughout the year, preventive defence and possibilities of curative chemical defence are also introduced. The state of attack of the plants by pathogens was monitored and evaluated. 10 cultivars of currants and 10 cultivars of gooseberries were used for this experiment. The most significant occurrence of P. mors-uvae on annual shoots and on fruit was noticed on gooseberry cultivars 'Terno', 'Golden fig', 'Neguš' and 'Industrie' and on currant cultivars 'Favorit' and 'Junifer'. On the other hand, gooseberry cultivars 'Kaptivátor' and 'Prima' and currant cultivars 'Titania' and 'Detvan' were not attacked. The heaviest occurrence of C. ribicola was recorded on gooseberry cultivar 'Karát', 'Kaptivátor' and 'Karmen' which were defoliated as a result of the pathogen attack. From currants, the heaviest attack was noted on cultivars 'Othelo', 'Titania' and 'Nigra'. The occurrence of D. ribis was slightly noticable on gooseberry cultivars 'Karmen', 'Karát', 'Prima' and 'Invicta'.
