the genome of black raspberry (rubus occidentalis).black raspberry (rubus occidentalis) is an important specialty fruit crop in the us pacific northwest that can hybridize with the globally commercialized red raspberry (r. idaeus). here we report a 243 mb draft genome of black raspberry that will serve as a useful reference for the rosaceae and rubus fruit crops (raspberry, blackberry, and their hybrids). the black raspberry genome is largely collinear to the diploid woodland strawberry (fragaria vesca) with a conserved karyotype and few notable ...201627228578
field evaluation of an oviposition deterrent for management of spotted-wing drosophila, drosophila suzukii, and potential nontarget effects.spotted-wing drosophila, drosophila suzukii matsumura (diptera: drosophilidae), is a polyphagous, invasive pest of small fruits. current management relies heavily on chemical insecticides, and an effective oviposition deterrent could contribute to alternative management approaches that reduce the need for these chemical insecticides. a novel deployment method for repelling drosophila suzukii, thereby reducing d. suzukii oviposition in fall-bearing red raspberry, was evaluated in the field. infes ...027247303
transfer and mass balance of ellagitannins, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, and flavonols during the processing of red raspberries (rubus idaeus l.) to juice.the putative health benefits of raspberries and raspberry-based products are potentially attributable to the presence of polyphenolic compounds, such as ellagitannins, anthocyanins, flavanols, and flavonols. their content in the products of raspberry processing into juice may be affected by the fruit cultivar, technological process parameters, and the properties of the polyphenolics themselves. the objective of the study was to investigate the composition and quantity of the above polyphenolics ...027292440

traditional alcoholic beverages and their value in the local culture of the alta valle del reno, a mountain borderland between tuscany and emilia-romagna (italy).traditional alcoholic beverages (tabs) have only received marginal attention from researchers and ethnobotanists so far, especially in italy. this work is focused on plant-based tabs in the alta valle del reno, a mountainous area on the border between tuscany and emilia-romagna regions. the aims of our study were to document local knowledge about tabs and to analyze and discuss the distribution of related knowledge within the investigated communities.201627333772
root herbivores drive changes to plant primary chemistry, but root loss is mitigated under elevated atmospheric co2.above- and belowground herbivory represents a major challenge to crop productivity and sustainable agriculture worldwide. how this threat from multiple herbivore pests will change under anthropogenic climate change, via altered trophic interactions and plant response traits, is key to understanding future crop resistance to herbivory. in this study, we hypothesized that atmospheric carbon enrichment would increase the amount (biomass) and quality (c:n ratio) of crop plant resources for above- an ...201627379129
exclusion netting delays and reduces drosophila suzukii (diptera: drosophilidae) infestation in raspberries.drosophila suzukii (matsumura) (diptera: drosophilidae) is a new frugivorous pest of raspberries and other soft fruits in north america, causing infestation of fruit at harvest time. control of this pest has primarily been through the application of broad-spectrum insecticides to prevent oviposition and larval development, and there is an urgent need for alternative approaches. over two growing seasons, we compared d. suzukii control in a research planting with insecticide and exclusion treatmen ...027417641

nonsense mutation inside anthocyanidin synthase gene controls pigmentation in yellow raspberry (rubus idaeus l.).yellow raspberry fruits have reduced anthocyanin contents and offer unique possibility to study the genetics of pigment biosynthesis in this important soft fruit. anthocyanidin synthase (ans) catalyzes the conversion of leucoanthocyanidin to anthocyanidin, a key committed step in biosynthesis of anthocyanins. molecular analysis of the ans gene enabled to identify an inactive ans allele in a yellow fruit raspberry ("anne"). a 5 bp insertion in the coding region was identified and designated as an ...201628066458
distribution and longevity of pratylenchus penetrans in the red raspberry production system.one of the major constraints on the production of red raspberries in the pacific northwest is the presence of the root-lesion nematode pratylenchus penetrans. current management of this nematode relies heavily on preplant soil fumigation; however, regulations have made the practice more difficult and expensive. additional issues with soil fumigation include lack of efficacy at deeper soil depths and potential inability to penetrate raspberry root material that remains in the field during fumigat ...201628154430

rubus idaeus inhibits migration and invasion of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by suppression of mmp-2 through modulation of the erk1/2 pathway.nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) is characterized by a high incidence of metastasis in the neck lymph nodes, resulting in a poor prognosis and posing challenges for treatment. in this study, we investigated the in vitro antimetastatic properties of rubus idaeus extract (rie) on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. hone-1, npc-39 and npc-bm cells were subjected to rie treatment, and effects on the migration and invasion of tumor cells were analyzed. the results showed that rie suppressed the migra ...201728946771
robust manipulations of pest insect behavior using repellents and practical application for integrated pest management.in agricultural settings, examples of effective control strategies using repellent chemicals in integrated pest management (ipm) are relatively scarce compared to those using attractants. this may be partly due to a poor understanding of how repellents affect insect behavior once they are deployed. here we attempt to identify potential hallmarks of repellent stimuli that are robust enough for practical use in the field. we explore the literature for success stories using repellents in ipm and we ...201728981656
