The blackcurrant cultivars ‘Abanos’, ‘Ronix’, ‘Deea’, ‘Geo’ (Romania), ‘Almo’ (Estonia), ‘Narve Viking’, ‘Varde Viking’ (Norway), ‘Mikael’ (Finland), and standard cultivar ‘Ben Tirran’ (Scotland) were tested at the Institute of Horticulture, Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry in 2009-2012. Two-year-old bushes were planted in an orchard in 2009. Bush parameters (vigour and width, m), resistance to anthracnose (Pseudopeziza ribis) and leaf spot (Septoria ribis), berry weight (weight of 100 fruits), yield (kg/bush) and biochemical composition were determined. The study showed that ‘Geo’ was most resistant to fungal disease. Fruits of ‘Abanos’ and ‘Almo’ were the largest. Yield of cultivars ‘Ronix’, ‘Ben Tirran’ and ‘Deea’ were the highest. ‘Abanos’ and ‘Geo’ had the highest content of soluble solids, ‘Ben Tirran’ of titratable acid, ‘Varde Viking’ of anthocyanins and phenols, and ‘Ronix’ and ‘Narve Viking’of ascorbic acid.

“…In Romania, highbush blueberries were introduced in 1968 in Arges , county [3]. Subsequently, a breeding program was established in 1982 for highbush blueberries at the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pites , ti, resulting in the creation of nine Romanian varieties: 'Safir' and 'Azur' (1998), 'Augusta' (1999), 'Simultan' and 'Delicia' (2001), 'Lax' and 'Compact ' (2002), and 'Vital' and 'Prod ' (2008) [4]. Moreover, after establishing a highbush blueberry collection and organizing yearly tasting sessions since 2016 with more than 60 blueberry varieties, the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest started its own blueberry breeding program in 2021 [5,6].…”

Since its domestication about a century ago in North America, highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) has gained appreciation by consumers worldwide, and the demand for new blueberry varieties is increasing. Whole-genome resequencing can help plant breeders to decrease the time needed to create novel varieties by identifying novel genes linked to fruit-quality traits. The present study analyzed the genetic variability of eight V. corymbosum genotypes, seven Romanian varieties (‘Prod’, ‘Vital’, ‘Azur’, ‘Simultan’, ‘Delicia’, ‘Compact’, and ‘Safir’), and the American variety, ‘Bluecrop’. The analysis of the first ~10 Mb from scaffold 22, a hotspot of genomic variation, in the above-mentioned varieties revealed multiple differences in 11 upregulated and 50 downregulated genes involved in fruit growth and development. Of these differentially regulated genes, two upregulated and five downregulated genes were fully covered by at least 1× coverage depth by sequencing. The genes’ sequence analysis confirmed the high genetic variability of the region, with most of the genes presenting numerous SNPs and some InDels, and indicated that an attempted 10× medium-coverage depth of sequencing for V. corymbosum varieties yields useful preliminary data for use in breeding programs.
