Blackberry fruit (Rubus spp.) has a powerful antioxidant capacity due to the high levels of anthocyanins and other phenols it contains. In this work, we investigated physico-chemical characteristics, bioactive compounds (total phenols, flavonoids, monomeric anthocyanins), seven blackberry cultivars belonging Rubus fruticosus L. laciniatus genera growing in NW region Romania. addition, wild cult...

Abstract. Normasiwi S, Salamah A, Surya MI. 2021. Morphological characteristics of Indonesian Rubus flowers. Biodiversitas 22: 1441-1447. spp. are woody or herbaceous plants that can be used for fruit, ornamental and medicinal purposes. The increasing use as a commercial species is highly dependent on the formation high-quality genetic material. However, lack basic biological knowledge one limi...

The aphid Amphorophora agathonica Hottes (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is an important virus vector in red (Rubus idaeus L.) and black (Rubus occidentalis L.) raspberries in North America. Raspberry resistance to A. agathonica in the form of a single dominant gene named Ag1 has been relied upon to help control aphid-transmitted plant viruses; however, the mechanism of resistance to the insect is poorl...

Total polyphenols, total anthocyanins and antioxidant activity of various berries: [aronia (Aronia melanocarpa), blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), red raspberry (Rubus idaeus), and strawberry (Fragaria anannassa)] have been evaluated in this study by using Folin-Ciocalteau, pH-diff erential, and DPPH method. Amount of anthocyanins ranged from 232 to 4341 mg kg-1 in strawberry and aronia, respectiv...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the biochemical composition of six berry types belonging to Fragaria, Rubus, Vaccinium and Ribes genus. Fruit samples were collected in triplicate (50 fruit each) from 18 different species or cultivars of the mentioned genera, during three years (2008 to 2010). Content of individual sugars, organic acids, flavonols, and phenolic acids were determined b...
