Селекция Ribes nigrum L. и Grossularia reclinata Мill. на основе отдаленной гибридизации

The problems of the use of distant hybridization in selection of black currant and gooseberry are considered. Hybrids R. nigrum × Gr. Reclinata are collected. It was found out that distant crossings are more successful when the mother plant is that of black currant; reciprocal amphihaploids differ from the original parental forms. Sustainable sterility does not make it possible to use them directly for practical purposes; however, valuable new formations allow to consider them as a source of selecting material for further selection.
