Identification of Resistance to the Large Raspberry Aphid in Black Raspberry

Identification, Characterization, and Detection of Black raspberry necrosis virus.

ABSTRACT A serious disease was observed in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) in Oregon in the last decade. Plants showing mosaic symptoms declined rapidly and, in many cases, died after several years. Double-stranded RNA extraction from symptomatic black raspberry revealed the presence of two high molecular weight bands which were cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis disclosed the presenc...

Transferability of Rubus Microsatellite Markers to Black Raspberry

Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been developed from genomic and expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus, subgenus Idaeobatus) and also in blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus). Recently, there has also been increased interest in the use of SSR markers in black raspberry (R. occidentalis subgenus Idaeobatus) to aid in the identification and c...

Anaphylactic shock to raspberry.

Blackberry, raspberry and black raspberry polyphenol extracts attenuate angiotensin II-induced senescence in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Activation of angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling during aging increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to vascular senescence, a process linked to the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Consumption of fruits and vegetables, particularly berries, is associated with decreased incidence of CVD, which has mainly been attributed to the polyphenol content of these foods. Th...

Transmission biology of Raspberry latent virus, the first aphid-borne reovirus.

Raspberry latent virus (RpLV) is a newly characterized reovirus found in commercial raspberry fields in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Thus far, all members of the plant reoviruses are transmitted in a replicative, persistent manner by several species of leafhoppers or planthoppers. After several failed attempts to transmit RpLV using leafhoppers, the large raspberry aphid, commonly found in the ...
