This article analyzes the results of Russian and foreign scientific institutions on breeding Ribes nigrum L. the conduct of targeted selections for resistance to the pathogen has allowed identifying the most adaptive for cultivation in different ecological and geographical zones of varieties and donors for further selection, which was accomplished under long-term programs. The main methods of research are interspecific crosses. The use of donor hybridization resistance to powdery mildew, Septoria, rust, Anthracnose allowed to significantly accelerate the creation of black currant varieties with complex resistance to the pathogen. Now genetically new initial material resistant to American powdery mildew and leaf spots is received. As a result of many years of breeding work, 18 varieties of black currant were developed, significantly influencing the modern assortment of berry crops in Russia. In addition, a unique gene pool of black currant was created, which opens prospects for further breeding work.
