The aim of the research was morphological and biochemical assessment of promising interspecific hybrids of breeding in CSBG in comparison with their original species and natural hybrids. Morphological features of the vegetative and generative spheres, yield and biochemical composition of fruits were studied by traditional methods. As a result of studying morphological, biological and biochemical features of interspecific hybrids of red currant created in CSBG, the possibility of effective use of wild Siberia species in breeding is shown. At the same time, special attention should be paid to Ribes atropurpureum forms selected in CSBG. According to the complex of morphological and biochemical characteristics, there were selected seven interspecific hybrids, which must be propagated and transferred to the State cultivar testing. Artificial hybrids are characterized by high yield, berry setting, content of ascorbic acid, and large fruit. A unique hybrid pool created in CSBG is the basis for further introduction and breeding.
