SUMMARY. The study of genetic variability of Ribes L. representatives grown in Belarus with using of 7 microsatellite markers showed that modern Belarussian varieties of black currant are characterized quite high genetic variability and have close genetic relationship with foreign varieties. The numbers of alleles in the studied loci varied from 5 to 11. The average number of unique genotype among 65 samples was 43,1. The discrimination power of markers varied from 0,67 to 0,95 and the mean value was 0,84. All markers possess rather high diagnostic value and allow to identify black currant and gooseberry varieties at the molecular level therefore can be recommended for DNA-identification of those cultures.
