| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A survey was conducted among botanical gardens and nursery growers to find out the remaining status of cultivated woody plants of the Rosaceae introduced to Japan before the Edo period, and in particular to look for old living individuals planted long ago, but no such ones were found. Furthermore, nursery production of some species is now almost completely declined, and even if the plants of such species remain, the genetic diversity may have been lost. In the research of herbaria, specimens related to still existent fruit tree genetic resources collected by the late Dr. Akio Kikuchi were discovered at the Kyoto University Museum, and this result was published. In addition, Takanabe Kaido, a woody plant of Malus, and only cultivated individuals remain in Takanabe Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, was published as a new species, Malus roseotakanabensis, Iketani & Minamit. extinct in the wild, after comparing it with many herbarium specimens of related plants both in Japan and overseas.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
主要な農作物以外の栽培植物の遺伝資源の保存や残存状況は極めて脆弱であることが示唆された。これはある程度予期された結果であるが、これらの遺伝資源の保存の充実を図るべきか否かについては、今後検討する必要がある。
タカナベカイドウは、野生絶滅したが元は野生生育していたと推定される植物のため、新分類群として記載発表できたことにより、今後の保全活動の推進に寄与できる。
