Abstract: One of the main priorities of contemporary agricultural science in Bulgaria is collection, evaluation, storage and efficient use of plant genetic resources. This wealth of the basic small fruit crops began to be collected, enriched by the introduction. Varieties characterized as suitable for our specific climate and soil conditions come into varietal structure and production, the chosen valuable donors are the foundation of successful breeding of strawberry and raspberry. Newly created genotypes are valuable basis of the hybrid gene pool. Along with the classical methods of investigation of genetic resources, the developments of genetics were used biotechnology and molecular approaches.
