| Author: | P. Mladin |
| Abstract:
The Ribes breeding program was started in Romania in 1956 at the Fruit Research Station Cluj-Napoca and since 1980's at the Fruit Research Institute Pitesti-Maracineni, as well. The major goal of the program was to produce more adapted and improved currant and gooseberry cultivars regarding: productivity, self-fertility, spring frosts and diseases resistance. Donors for these traits have been different regional forms of Ribes nignum: Europaeam, Scandinavicum, Sibiricum, R. dikuscha Fisch., R. fontaneum, R. canadense for black currant breeding: R. petraeum, R. vulgare, R. rubrum, R. houghtonianum Jancz., for red currant: R. grossularia, R. divaricatum for gooseberry breeding. The program has produced valuable currant and goosebery cultivars and promising selections. | |
