“…Second generation PCR-based molecular marker systems represented by simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and third generation DNA-based molecular marker systems represented by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) have been used in the identification of Rubus spp. [ 22 , 23 ], genetic diversity analysis [ 24 ], and fruit quality regulation [ 25 , 26 ]. Due to their good stability, strong reliability, and rich polymorphisms, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are widely used in the analysis and evaluation of biological population genetic diversity [ 27 , 28 ].…”

To screen and evaluate excellent blackberry cultivars and strains, 17 indexes of plant growth and fruit horticultural and nutritional characteristics were measured, 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were analyzed, the fingerprints of 23 blackberry cultivars and strains were constructed, and the processing characteristics of 10 excellent cultivars and strains were evaluated. The results showed that ‘Chester’ and ‘Shuofeng’ had the highest plant yield (6.5 kg per plant), of which the ‘Chester’ fruit also had the highest hardness (2.78 kg/cm2). ‘Kiowa’ had the highest single fruit weight (10.43 g). ‘10-5n-2’ had the highest total anthocyanin content (225.4 mg/100 g FW) and total polyphenol content (3.24 mg/g FW), but a low plant yield. These results suggest that ‘Shuofeng’ and ‘Chester’ are the top two blackberry cultivars planted in Nanjing, with the best growth and comprehensive quality. Moreover, a total of 119 alleles were detected with an average number of 6 alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.374~0.844, with an average of 0.739, indicating a high genetic diversity among the 23 blackberry cultivars and strains. This study provides insight into the plant growth, fruit characteristics and genetic diversity of the 23 blackberry cultivars and strains, and is thus conducive to the protection and utilization of blackberry cultivars and strains.

“…In recent years, the application of molecular marker technology in fruit tree germplasm identification, genetic relationship analysis, and early selection of breeding materials has developed rapidly [23,24]. SSR markers have the advantages of good repeatability, rich polymorphism, and strong reliability and have obvious advantages in identifying the purity and authenticity of fruit tree hybrids [25].…”

The thornless blackberry cultivar ‘Ningzhi 4’ was developed by the Institute of Botany, Jiangsu Province and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Nanjing Botanical Garden Mem. Sun Yat-Sen). The new blackberry cultivar was selected from the ‘Kiowa’ (female parent) and ‘Hull Thornless’ (male parent) F1 hybrid. ‘Ningzhi 4’ had excellent plant characteristics, including thornlessness, semi-erect to erect canes, vigorous growth and good disease resistance. ‘Ningzhi 4’ had large fruit and high yield. In addition, the parents of the superior hybrid plant were further identified by SSR markers, which provided the basis for the fingerprint of the new blackberry cultivar ‘Ningzhi 4’. This is a commercial cultivar to be grown for fruit production for either shipping or local sales. It also has value as a home-garden plant. This unique type of blackberry fruit was a traditional summer fruit. This new cultivar has thornless semi-erect to erect canes and produces high-quality berries with large size, good firmness, excellent flavor, and potential for shipping and postharvest storage. The new blackberry cultivar ‘Ningzhi 4’ is adapted to all areas of southern China and is expected to replace or complement ‘Kiowa’, ‘Hull Thornless’, ‘Chester Thornless’ and ‘Triple Crown’. A local cultivar patent has been approved by the Jiangsu Variety Approval Committee as ‘Rubus spp. Ningzhi 4′ in 2020 (S-SV-RS-014-2020). In the future, ‘Ningzhi 4’ could be promoted as an advantageous thornless blackberry cultivar in the main production regions of China.

Rubus species holds promise as a valuable source of polyphenols and bioactive compounds, offering significant potential as functional food ingredients with both nutraceutical and pharmaceutical benefits. However, many edible species within this genus remain under-explored and their importance is largely unrecognized. This review aims to provide an overview of the nutritional and bioactive components of both explored and under-explored Rubus species, highlighting their potential health advantages, value addition, and recent advancements. The economic exploitation of Rubus is currently limited to a few cultivated species, while numerous non-conventional and wild edible species are overlooked. Recognizing the economic and nutritional significance of exploited Rubus species, it is imperative to explore the untapped potential of these underutilized plants. By doing so, these species can be preserved from endangerment and contribute to nutritional and livelihood security for communities having access to them. This review emphasizes the importance of understanding the exceptional characteristics of Rubus species as "superfoods" and encourages the promotion and cultivation of these unexplored species. By expanding the cultivation and utilization of under-explored Rubus species, we can unlock their full potential and support sustainable nutritional and economic benefits.
