MODERN WAYS OF RASPBERRY BREEDING

Abstract

One of the priority tasks in raspberry breeding is to increase the ecological adaptation of varieties to negative biotic and
 abiotic factors of a particular cultivation region. Common task for all raspberry cultivation regions is the breeding of highly
 productive varieties suitable for mechanized cultivation with high commercial, taste and technological qualities of berries.
 The modern breeding process is characterized by a significant increase in the intensity of selection and the acceleration
 of the breeding process. Biotechnological methods of clonal micropropagation of valuable genotypes, as well as the use of PCR
 for genetic analysis and certification of breeding material, are very encouraging. Scientific integration gives the opportunity
 to speed up the breeding process. This is contributed by the creation of modern breeding and nursery-garden centers, where
 joint research is carried out by breeders, geneticists, biotechnologists, physiologists, virologists and nursery breeders.
