This article presents the results of crossing ability of four Dagestan autochthonous grape varieties with cultivars of different origins. The analysis included 20 crossing combinations, conducted during 2023–2024, which used varieties obtained from interspecific hybridization. As a result of hybridization, the pollination of 30 inflorescences yielded 3440 seeds and 699 first-year seedlings. Dagestan autochthonous grape variety ‘Hop Khalat’ was selected as a female parent variety to be introduced in further breeding process, as provided the highest seed set (193.5 in total), the maximum yield of seeds (1.545 in total) and seedlings (44 in total) per one crossing combination.
