“…The genus Rubus contains a large number of highly variably and heterogeneous species, which occur in all parts of the world except the dessert regions (Jennings et al, 1990). Rubus idaeus, red raspberry, is supposedly named after the region near Mount Ida in Asia Minor where they grew wild and were called 'Ida' fruit by the ancient Greeks (Jennings, 1988).…”

During 2003 and 2005, plant growth promoting effects of two Bacillus strains OSU-142 (N 2 -fixing) and M3 (N 2 -fixing and phosphate solubilizing) were tested alone or in combinations on organically grown primocane fruiting raspberry (cv. Heritage) plants in terms of yield, growth, nutrient composition of leaves and variation of soil nutrient element composition in the province of Erzurum, Turkey. The results showed that Bacillus M3 treatment stimulated plant growth and resulted in significant yield increase. Inoculation of raspberry plant roots and rhizosphere with M3 and/or OSU-142 + M3, significantly increased yield (33.9% and 74.9%), cane length (13.6% and 15.0%), number of cluster per cane (25.4% and 28.7%) and number of berries per cane (25.1% and 36.0%) compared with the control, respectively. In addition, N, P and Ca contents of raspberry leaves with OSU-142 + M3 treatment, and Fe and Mn contents of the leaves of raspberry with M3 and OSU-142 + M3 applications significantly improved under organic growing conditions. Bacterial applications also significantly effected soil total N, available P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn contents and pH. Available P contents in soil was determined to be increased from 1.55 kg P 2 O 5 /da at the beginning of the study to 2.83 kg P 2 O 5 /da by OSU-142, to 5.36 kg P 2 O 5 /da by M3 and to 4.71 kg P 2 O 5 /da by OSU-142 + M3 treatments. The results of this study suggest that Bacillus M3 alone or in combination with Bacillus OSU-142 have the potential to increase the yield, growth and nutrition of raspberry plant under organic growing conditions. #

“…For example, epicatechin gallate (with seven free ÐOH substituents) is 4.9 times more potent as an antioxidant than both vitamins C and E. 7 Rubus represents one of the most diverse genera of plants, comprising 12 subgenera of which four have high value as fruiting species. 9 This diversity is re¯ected in the wide range of fruit types and pigmentation found within the genus. Rubus species are widely distributed globally as wild and cultivated species and genotypes, from Arctic regions to Australasia.…”

The antioxidative capacities of a number of Rubus species of varied pigmentation have been investigated. In addition, total phenol, anthocyanin and ascorbic acid contents have been determined. Two methods to assess the antioxidant potential of fruit juices have been used. The antioxidant capacities of the fruit ranged from 0 to 25.3 mmol Trolox equivalents g À1 (TEAC) or from 190 to 66 000 mmol l À1 ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Ascorbic acid contributes only minimally to the antioxidant potential of Rubus juices (`10%, TEAC). There are apparent linear relationships between antioxidant capacity (assessed as both TEAC and FRAP) and total phenols (r xy = 0.6713 and 0.9646 respectively). Also, anthocyanin content has a minor in¯uence on antioxidant capacity (r xy = 0.3774, TEAC; r xy = 0.5883, FRAP). The sample with the highest antioxidant capacity (Rubus caucasicus) had the highest phenol content, but only a low percentage was represented by anthocyanins. The present study demonstrates the potential of certain wild Rubus species, notably R caucasicus, for improvement of nutritional value through germplasm enhancement programmes.

“…It includes hundreds of species and numerous natural hybrids, as either hybrids produced by breeding. Rubus genus is widespread in Europe, North America and west Asia (Jennings et al, 1991). Raspberries and blackberries belong to the oldest and most widely grown fruit plants.…”
