| Abstract:
Blackcurrant breeding in Romania started in 1951 at the Fruit Research Station Cluj-Napoca and in 1982 at the Fruit Research Institute Pitesti-Maracineni. Current research focuses on combining high agronomical traits (yield, quality and different ripening season) with better disease resistance. The crosses between productive female parents and highly field resistant male parents produced the best descendents: ‘Tsema’ x ‘Kantata-50’; ‘Fertödy-1’ x ‘Kantata-50’. The offspring of ‘Kantata-50’ have inherited good field resistance to powdery mildew, anthracnosis, and white pine blister rust. The following selections were distinguished by high yield, large or medium berries, and self-fertility as well as good disease resistance: 88–7–16/3, 88–7–43/3, 88–7–128/3. They will be named and released for their valuable characteristics. | |
