Abstract

The James Hutton Institute has been breeding blackcurrants and other Ribes species since 1956. Currently we have two blackcurrant breeding programmes based in the UK, one for commercial juice production, and the other for the fresh market.
The programmes differ in their specificities to meet the guidelines defined by the industry.
However, the issues faced by the growers present common challenges, such as the pressure of pests and pathogens, and the outcome of climate change, with a rise in the frequency of warmer and drier summers, and milder winters.
The need for cultivars more adapted to these conditions has increased in recent years and the application of new tools and technologies to assist this selection is required to increase efficacy in the identification of those germplasm.
