“…Other important compounds that develop in the vacuoles and appear in the cell walls are phenolic substances, which are found in Rubus (ÁLVAREZ and ESTÉBANEZ, 2015;MORENO-MEDINA et al, 2018). These compounds are synthesized mainly in the leaves, epidermis, and palisade parenchyma and usually perform several functions in plants, including waterproofing for the reduction of transpiration (ESAU and RAY, 2008) and protection against pests (NAVA-PÉREZ et al, 2012) and some phytopathogens (SILVA-ADAME et al, 2013).…”

“…Rubus glaucus, called mora de Castilla, stands out as the most cultivated and commercialized; in addition, there are other taxa with important productive and commercial characteristics, such as R. adenotrichos, R. alpinus, R. bogotensis, R. floribundus, R. giganteus, R. megalococus, R. nubigenus and R. rosifolius, which enrich production systems in Colombia (CANCINO et al, 2011;MORALES and VILLEGAS, 2012). Along with the numerous species and varieties of the Rubus genus that are established as crops, there are great morphological diversity and different physicochemical and medicinal properties that are attributed to biological factors such as apomixis, hybridization, polyploidy, and the environments of cultivated areas (ROMOLEROUX, 1996;BALLESTERO et al, 2004;MARULANDA et al, 2012;CORREA et al, 2014;MORENO-MEDINA et al, 2018). On the other hand, in Colombia, agronomic and postharvest management is inadequate, which is aggravated by the fact that the fruits have a limited shelf-life and are characterized as being highly perishable, resulting in low profitability of the crops (MORENO-MEDINA and DEAQUIZ, 2016).…”

In Gachantivá, Colombia, Rubus alutaceus has been used for commercial purposes for more than one decade but so far with unknown taxonomic identity. For its identification, the anatomical and morphological characteristics of its flowers, fruits, leaves, stems, and seeds, as well as the physicochemical characteristics of its fruits such as color, equatorial and polar diameter, fresh weight, pH and total soluble solids (TSS), were studied. Qualitative and quantitative morphological parameters were evaluated, and longitudinal and transverse cuts were made for histological studies. The plants were found to have trifoliate and pentafoliate leaves; whitish–yellow subglobose polydrupes, fully mature fruits with 8.8°Brix TSS; elliptical, subglobose seeds with ruminated endocarps; anatomical calcium oxalate crystals in the form of druses and raphides in the leaves and branches; and abundant hairs, simple and glandular (colleters) addition to vascular tissue with a more or less continuous appearance. High value in TSS, positively influences fruit agribusiness and the presence of simple hair and colleters can reduce the attack of pests, these variables identify the new species and give it agronomic potential to strengthen its cultivation and marketing.

“…Secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, non-protein amino acids, amines, cyanogenic glycosides, glucosinolates, terpenoids, and phenolics are constitutively produced by plants (Jamwal et al, 2018;Moreno-Medina et al, 2018). Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) are emitted through intercellular spaces, whereas stomas release them into the environment (Kegge and Pierik, 2010).…”

Grafting, using tolerant rootstocks, has been necessary to increase avocado (Persea americana Mill.) production in drought, salinity, pest, and soil disease conditions. The avocado rootstock has shown an influence on scion vigor, nutrient absorption, fruit quality, and disease tolerance. Nevertheless, the avocado rootstock influence on the biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from 'Hass' shoots has not been reported. Our objective was to study the effect of two avocado rootstocks of the Mexican race on BVOC emitted by avocado 'Hass' shoots. We collected BVOCs emitted by 'Hass' avocado shoots grafted on 'Mexicola' and 'Zutano' rootstocks. All volatile collections were made from living plants for 24 h through a dynamic headspace technique. The chemical profiles were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry (GC-MS). BVOC emission rates were highly variable in amount and composition. The monoterpene α-pinene was emitted at 5.06 ± 0.74, 0.73 ± 0.14, and 1.43 ± 0.61 μg mL-1 by graft 'Hass'/'Mexicola', 'Hass'/'Zutano' and ungrafted 'Mexicola', respectively. Grafted 'Hass' on 'Mexicola' emitted a wide variety of monoterpenes as β-pinene, cumene, 3-carene, R-limonene and (Z)-β-ocimene, whereas grafted plants on 'Zutano' only released α-pinene and cumene. Estragole was only detected on ungrafted 'Mexicola'. We found that the chemical profile of volatile compounds released by 'Hass' grafted avocado plants was qualitatively and quantitatively influenced by rootstocks.

“…Besides these species, CBG also has commercials Rubus cultivar such as blackberry and raspberry. Susandarini (2016) and Moreno-Medina et al (2018) reported that Rubus is one of the pioneers of forest succession and is potentially used for fruit, ornamental, and medicinal purposes. The development of Rubus as commercial species depends on the development of highquality genetic material.…”

Morphological characteristics of Indonesian Rubus flowers

Abstract. Normasiwi S, Salamah A, Surya MI. 2021. Morphological characteristics of Indonesian Rubus flowers. Biodiversitas 22: 1441-1447. Rubus spp. are woody or herbaceous plants that can be used for fruit, ornamental and medicinal purposes. The increasing use of Rubus as a commercial species is highly dependent on the formation of high-quality genetic material. However, the lack of basic biological knowledge is one of the limiting factors in this development. This research aims to describe the morphological characters of Indonesian Rubus flowers at Cibodas Botanical Garden, Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. From January to June 2020, we observed nine Rubus species with five replications, namely R. alceifolius, R. chrysophyllus, R. ellipticus, R. fraxinifolius, R. linneatus, R. moluccanus, R. pyrifolius, R. rosifolius, and Rubus sp (Blackberry) in Cibodas Botanical Garden, Indonesia. The results showed variations in the characteristics of the pistil, stamens, torus shape, and duration of flowering stages between species. The mean value of the stamen-pistil ratio for R. pyrifolius was highest among other species (8.27), and R. fraxinifolius was the lowest (0.16). Furthermore, a correlation analysis between stamens and pistils for nine Rubus species was relatively positive (r = 0.598), similarly distinctly positive between pistils and fruits with r = 0.763. Flower development duration takes ranging 10-12 days from initiation to anthesis, depending on the species.
