Fruits from 107 genotypes of Vaccinium L., Rubus and Ribes were analyzed for total anthocyanins (ACY), phenolics (TPH), antioxidant capacities as determined by oxygen radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) ferric reducing power (FRAP). Fruit size was highly correlated (r = 0.84) with ACY within corymbosum but not to across eight other species, or 27 blackberry hybrids. Certain fruits pigmented flesh lower in ACY, TPH, ORAC, FRAP compared those values berries nonpigmented flesh. ORAC ranged 19 131...
Abstract The genus Vaccinium L. (Ericaceae) contains a wide diversity of culturally and economically important berry crop species. Consumer demand scientific research in blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) cranberry macrocarpon) have increased worldwide over the crops’ relatively short domestication history (~100 years). Other species, including bilberry myrtillus), lingonberry vitis-idaea), ohelo reticulatum) are largely still harvested from wild but with improvement efforts underway. Here, we...
Rubus (Rosaceae) comprises more than 500 species with additional commercially cultivated raspberries and blackberries. The most recent (> 100 years old) global taxonomic treatment of the genus defined 12 subgenera; two subgenera were subsequently described some rearranged. Intra- interspecific ploidy levels hybridization make phylogenetic estimation challenging. Our objectives to estimate phylogeny 94 taxonomically geographically diverse three cultivars using chloroplast DNA sequences target...
The genus Rubus L., indigenous to six continents, includes blackberries, raspberries, and their hybrids is commonly referred as brambles or briers. species were a food medicinal source for native peoples soon after the Ice Age. This short article presents only sample of wealth historical reports uses . Brambles documented in writings ancient Greeks: Aeschylus, Hippocrates, Krataeus, Dioscorides, Galen; Romans: Cato, Ovid, Pliny Elder; Asian traditions; traditional Chinese medicine; Ayurvedic...
N.I. Vavilov, Academician of the V.I. Lenin All-Union Academy Agricultural Sciences, takes his place as a founding pillar knowledge in cathedral origin and development cultivated plants. Relying on theories revered predecessors, Charles Darwin Alphonse de Candolle, Vavilov developed concept centers for agronomic crops. Vavilov’s astute hypotheses set stage modern use exotic germplasm plant breeding. devoted scientist, continued to revise refine theory throughout lifetime based additional...
Abstract Rubus (Rosaceae), one of the most complicated angiosperm genera, contains about 863 species, and is notorious for its taxonomic difficulty. The recent (1910–1914) global treatment genus was conducted by Focke, who defined 12 subgenera. Phylogenetic results over past 25 years suggest that Focke's subdivisions are not monophyletic, large‐scale revisions necessary. Our objective to provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis based on an integrative evidence approach. Morphological...
Summary The genus Ribes L., known as currants and gooseberries, contains more than 150 diverse species indigenous throughout the northern hemisphere along Rocky Mountain, Sierra Nevada Madres in North America through mountain ranges of Central to Andes South America. Beginning 1400s, four main crop types, black ( , subgenus: section: Botrycarpum ), red white ) gooseberries Grossularia were domesticated from European species. American Eurasian selected combined into germplasm base breeding...
The strawberry genus, Fragaria (Rosaceae), has a base chromosome number of x = 7. Cultivated strawberries (F. ×ananassa nothosubsp. ananassa) are octoploid (2n 8x 56) and first hybridized from F. chiloensis subsp. forma × virginiana virginiana. Europe no known native species, only one Asian species been reported: iturupensis, Iturup Island. Our objective was to examine the chromosomes iturupensis. Ploidy levels wild include diploid 2x 14), tetraploid 4x 28), pentaploid 5x 35), hexaploid 6x...
Blueberry is well recognized as a rich source of health promoting phytochemicals such flavonoids and phenolic acids. Multiple studies in blueberry other crops indicated that acids function bioactive compounds the human body multiple effects. Despite their importance, information limited about levels variation within between ploidy level species, association with fruit quality traits. Such crucial to define strategy study genetic mechanisms controlling these traits select for breeding...
Garden strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier) arose from spontaneous hybridization of distinct octoploid species 300 yr ago. Since its discovery in the 1700s, migration and selection restructured genetic diversity early hybrids to produce elite fruit‐bearing groups. Breeders’ understanding architecture domesticated populations is incomplete. To resolve impacts domestication on diversity, we analyzed genome‐wide DNA profiles 1300 individuals (1814–present), including wild...
The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) arose through a hybridization of two wild American octoploid species in French garden the 1750s. Since then, breeders have developed improved cultivars adapted to different growing regions. Diverse germplasm is crucial meet challenges will continue address. USDA-ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) Corvallis, Oregon maintains U.S. collection. Recent developments high-throughput genotyping for can provide new insights about diversity...

Rubus images from late Antiquity to the Renaissance are described and assessed for botanical horticultural information. The earliest surviving European blackberry (R. fruticosus L. sp. agg.) image is found on folio 83 in Juliana Anicia Codex (Codex Vindobonensis) of 512 CE which contains copies several older texts including an illuminated, illustrated, partial alphabetical recension De Materia Medica (English: On Medical Matters) written first century by Pedanius Dioscorides.
