description Background. The study of the performance of clonal apple rootstocks under the conditions of the Southern Cisbaikalia is of great importance for science and agriculture. It can expand our knowledge of plant adaptation to the specific climatic conditions of the region and provide valuable guidance for gardeners and nurserymen. Purpose. To characterize the adaptive capabilities of clonal apple rootstocks of different geographical origins in the south of the Irkutsk region and assess the likelihood of their further use in horticulture of the region. Materials and methods. All the studies were carried out in 2018-2021 at the collection plots of Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences located in Irkutsk and in the Irkutsk district of the Irkutsk region. The study of rootstocks in the mother plantation and variety/rootstock combinations in the orchard was carried out according to the Program and Methods for the Study of Varieties of Fruit, Berry and Nut Crops. Results. The conducted fieldwork allowed assessing genotypes Arm-18 and K-2 as slightly winter-hardy. SCAC, Ural, Ural-2, 4-12, and E-56 were assessed as highly winter-hardy clonal rootstocks. The rest of the genotypes were assessed as winter-hardy. All the clonal rootstocks used for grafting, except for the control (SCAC), were assessed as winter-hardy, SCAC - highly winter-hardy. The Katyusha variety retained high winter hardiness when grafted onto all the genotypes of clonal rootstocks. The Prevoshodnoe variety retained high winter hardiness only when grafted onto SCAC; in other combinations it was rated as medium winter-hardy (onto clonal rootstock 70-6-8) and winter-hardy (onto the other rootstocks). The Raiskoe variety retained high winter hardiness on clonal rootstocks of genotypes 70-6-8, 62-396, and SCAC; on the other clonal rootstocks, it was assessed as winter-hardy. The Lada variety appeared to be winter-hardy on all the studied clonal rootstocks, despite the fact that this variety in the region is rated as highly winter-hardy. Conclusion. The phenological observations showed that the climatic conditions of the studied region favour the complete passage of all phases of development of the studied genotypes of clonal rootstocks. The long-term study of field winter hardiness of clonal rootstocks showed that the majority of the studied genotypes were assessed as winter-hardy and promising for further study. The field tests were ensured by the artificial freezing experiments. All of that allowed identifying the most valuable clonal rootstocks for breeding in the Southern Cisbaikalia: E56, Ural, Ural 2, 4-12, and SCAC.
