The result of the study made it possible to identify regenerants of common buckwheat sowing varieties Izumrud and Dikul, the most resistant to complex stress caused by high doses of zinc and mineral starvation in vitro culture. A higher level of stress resistance and regenerative capacity of the Dikul variety was revealed in comparison with the Izumrud variety. The test tube regenerant buckwheat plants obtained under selective conditions are a promising material for the purposes of further breeding, as well as for studying the possibility of their use as phytoremediators.
