Metals Distribution in Roadside Soils and Himalayan Blackberries in Victoria, BC, Canada
AbstractThis study investigated metal contamination in roadside soils and Himalayan Blackberry plants across Greater Victoria, BC. Arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) concentrations in soil samples in some areas exceeded BC Contaminated Sites Regulation soil standards, indicating contamination hotspots …

The Role of Blackberry Grades and Fermentation Methods on Blackberry Kombucha Quality and Aroma Characteristics from Small-Scale Fermentation
… buyers and consumers. U.S. No.1 and U.S. No.2 blackberries differ in physical characteristics like size, color, or insect damage but both are still safe to consume. Utilization of the quality-compromised U.S. No.2 blackberries in innovative ways, like in a kombucha product, could help these …

Effect of Harvest Time on the Incidence of Red Drupelet Reversion and Development of Tetraploid Linkage Maps in Blackberry
… Although the genetic improvement of fresh-market blackberries has advanced, there are still issues that need to be addressed. One issue is the prevalence of red drupelet reversion (RDR), a physiological disorder where the drupelets of a fully black berry begin to turn red after harvest. A two-year …

Studies in Blackberry: Development and Implementation of a Phenotyping Protocol for Blackberry Seedling Populations and Impact of Time of Day of Harvest on Red Drupelet Reversion for University of Arkansas Blackberry Genotypes
… on juice from one year from populations of blackberries grown at UA and UDSA-ARS HCRU, and included soluble solids content, pH, titratable acidity, and organic acids and sugars. Analysis of variance of fruit compositional traits indicated that population means in UA material had more …

Flavor and Quality Characteristics of Two Primocane-bearing Blackberry Cultivars as Impacted by Foliar and Shade Application
… and analyzed, and aroma-active compounds in blackberries were identified by use of headspace-solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfaction (HS-SPME-GC-MS-O). Shade cloth significantly reduced the white drupelet disorder (WDD) in Prime-Ark® Freedom but it also …

A Market Analysis for Berry Crops in Virginia
… include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and other novelty berries. A survey of current berry crop producers in Virginia is used to gain insight into the supply-side of the market, and a series of personal interviews with direct market berry crop producers and buyers from …

Produce condition after holding at a range of storage temperatures
… grapes, pears, peppers, one cultivar of blackberries, tomatoes, and cabbages were chosen for the experiment. The storage temperatures (21°C, 15°C, 10°C, 4°C, 0°C) and humidity (about 80% RH) were maintained during the experiment. Observations were made on weight loss, total loss, disease, …

Foraging Behavior of Spring Bees and Their Agricultural Implications
… native pollinators naturally recruited to field blackberries. Higher visitation rates were found for flowers with larger ultraviolet-absorptive floral guides and stamen manipulations. Mason bees did visit flowers but did not demonstrate any preference for flowers with more stamen. Bee density did …

Berries in Prevention of Metabolic Disease – focus on obesity, diabetes and gut microbiota
… Supplementation with raspberries, crowberries, blackberries or prunes had no or small effects, whereas açai berries promoted development of obesity and fatty liver compared to the control group receiving high-fat diet without berries. Global hepatic gene expression analysis revealed that the …

Clarification of basal relationships in Rubus (Rosaceae) and the origin of Rubus chamaemorus
… has been elusive. Most Rubus species (including blackberries and raspberries), representing nine of the 12 subgenera, occur in a large, well supported clade named 'A' for reference). The remaining nine species are excluded from this group and represent three subgenera: subg. Anoplobatus (R. …

Role and mechanism of action of the anthocyanin, delphinidin, in protecting endothelial cells against oxidative stress
… of indigenous Scottish berries (raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants) were rich in polyphenolic compounds that conferred substantial reducing capacity, which is often associated with antioxidant capacity. Tannins and anthocyanins were particularly prominent; the anthocyanin, delphinidin, …

Characterising the techno- and bio-functional properties of milk protein-polyphenol complexes for application in performance nutrition
There is increased consumer interest in performance nutrition, focusing especially on enhancing muscle strength and recovery. Dairy-plant hybrid beverages, rich in milk proteins and polyphenols, have considerable potential in this area, because both proteins and polyphenols have been positively …

Linkage mapping in tetraploid blackberry (Rubus spp.) using high-throughput genomic sequencing and restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq)
Genomic molecular marker research and linkage mapping in cultivated polyploid species of Rubus, in particular blackberry, has lagged behind diploid members of the genus due to the complex analyses required to deduce allele dosage among homologous and homeologous chromosomes. Traditional techniques …
