The main objective of this thesis was comparison of set of edible honeysuckle Lonicera edulis varieties and genotypes in terms of growth rate of shrubs and phenological phases. The observetion was realized in experimental and demonstration area of school farm Žabčice belonging to the Mendel University in Brno. The main observed parameters were shrub dimensions, namely height, width and volume. Varieties included in observation were 'Bakcarskaja', 'Kamtschatica', 'Goluboje vereteno', 'Amur', 'Valchova', 'Fialka', 'Zoluška', 'Viola', 'Tomička', 'Lebeduška', 'Modrý Triumf', 'Leningradský velikán', 'Lipnická', 'Sinoglaska', 'Sinnaja Ptica', 'Morena', 'Gerda', 'Amfora', 'Altaj', 'Roksana', 'Bergsaphir', 'Vasiljevská', 'Kamčadalka', 'Průhonický letní', 'Malion', 'Maister', 'Blue Velvet', 'Vasjuganská', 'Helfštýn' and 'Průhonický'. Also individual phenological phases were evaluated for these varieties during 2013, 2014 and the beginning of 2015 season with focus on sprouting and flowering.

This diploma thesis: Evaluation of qualitative and quantitative indicators in the range of genotypes Lonicera caerulea L. was prepared on fields of genofond Mendel University on experimental crops Žabčice School Farm. The work was focused on the evaluation of phenological, growth and harvest characteristics of different varieties of honeysuckle. From the growth characteristics the work was namely focused on characteristics such as the height of shrubs, bushes yardage, annual increment and flowering evaluation. Harvesting indicators were being monitored based on the average fruit weight, height and width of the fruit, the shape of the fruit, the total amount of the vitamin C presented in content of refractometric dry matter and the dry matter itself of the fruits. From phenological phases we paid the most attention to the date of sprouting, flowering time, ripening time and the length of the developed fruit shoots. The work results are supported by charts and tables of published results. The work also includes a description of each studied variety of honeysuckle accompanied with photo documnetation.

The submitted thesis on the topic of Evaluation of Growth and Harvest Data of Kamchatka blueberries is focused on the description of possibilities of cultivation and using of individual varieties of edible honeysuckle. The evaluation and monitoring of planting took place on the property school agricultural enterprise in Žabčice, the laboratory pat and the evaluation of results took place in the laboratory of Mendel University in Brno. This thesis includes characteristic of genus Lonicera L., botanical description of genus Lonicera kamtschatica L., growing demands, multiplication possibilities, description of the most famous variety and results of observation of 27 varieties of edible honeysuckle. The height of the bush, cubic capacity of bush, annual increment and phenological phases were evaluated. To harvest parameters were monitored a height, fruit width, fruit weight, fruit shape shrub yield, content of refractometric dry matter,content of ascorbic acid and the total dry matter content of the fruit. The annex of this thesis comprise graphs and tables of recording of results. During the observation, a continuous documentation was taken, and it is used in the thesis.

The Master' s thesis was made on Department of Post-Harvest Technology of Horticulture Faculty in Lednice. In the first chapter is defineded less common fruits and their healthy benefits. The main information about less common fruits and their processing are desribed in the other chapters. The experimental part include information of fresh fruits - honeysuckle, black chokeberry, hawthorn and their antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity was detected by FRAP and DPPH. There is described the beverage production and the results of sensory analisis.

The theme of this diploma thesis is an assessment of given nutritional parameters in selected kinds of lesser known fruits, specifically 10 varieties of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.), 12 varieties of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) and 6 varieties of blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea var. kamtschatica). Harvests of two consecutive years (2011 and 2012) were analyzed in the case of blue honeysuckle. The theoretical part was focused on historical, morphological, taxonomic and nutritional aspects of individual plants and food or pharmaceutical utilization. The considerable part of the thesis is devoted to the characterization and the possibilities of determining the contained substances, namely ascorbic acid and polyphenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins. The content of the experimental part was a description of the methods and the results of the analysis of total solids, titratable acidity, total phenolics, total anthocyanins and ascorbic acid in fruits of the selected varieties of the above mentioned fruit species. Based on the measured results, the different varieties of fruits were compared to each other and evaluated.

This thesis is focused to the analysis of selected varieties of honeysuckle kamtschatica (Lonicera caerula var kamtschatica) and their comparison in terms of the content of biologically active substances. There were analysed only varieties grown in 2014. Theoretical part elaborates and characterized various parameters of biologically active compounds such as phenolic, anthocyanins and ascorbic acid and possibilities of their determination. Further it briefly surveys Kamchatka honeysuckle, its taxonomic and morphological properties and its nutritional properties. The experimental part of the work was focused on the description of the methods used for the analysis of biologically active substances and their analysis. Polyphenolic compounds and anthocyanin’s were determined spectrophotometrically and vitamin C was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results and varieties were compared with each other. Overall, we can say that the variety with the highest content of all three analysed biologically active substances is a variety Valchová, which had the second highest content of polyphenolic compounds (546.3 mg · 100 g-1 fruits), the third highest contend of ascorbic acid (35.1 mg · 100 g-1 fruits) and the sixth highest content of anthocyanin (170.8 mg · 100 g-1 fruits)
