Colombia requires blackberry genotypes with remarkable traits
that improve the competitiveness of this product in the country.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the characteristics
of the quality attributes in fruits of ten Colombian blackberry
genotypes in order to assess their potential in the berry markets but also as a genetic source to be included in breeding programs. The weight of fruits, the equatorial and longitudinal diameters, volume, firmness, color, juice content, flesh content, seed/fruit weight percentage, soluble solids content, acidity, pH and maturity index were evaluated in fruits collected during three different harvest periods in the province of Cundinamarca. Thirty fruits for every genotype and period were harvested and analyzed. These 10 evaluated genotypes showed important differences that allowed separating them into five different groups; however, genotypes 8, 4 and 6 showed the best results regarding size, color, juice content, total soluble solids content, maturity index, firmness and low acidity. These features make them good candidates for incorporating them into breeding programs. Nonetheless, their soluble solids content was considerably lower than values reported for genotypes Prime Ark, Natchez, Ouachita, and Osage that are recognized for these
remarkable traits.
Colombia requiere identificar materiales de mora con características
sobresalientes que permitan impulsar el crecimiento de esta cadena de producción en el país. Por esta razón el objetivo de ese trabajo fue evaluar los atributos de calidad de fruta de 10 genotipos de mora para determinar su potencial en los mercados de bayas, y como fuente genética para incluirlos en los programas de mejoramiento. El peso, diámetro ecuatorial y longitudinal volumen, firmeza, color, contenido de jugo, contenido de pulpa y porcentaje de peso de semilla/peso de fruta, contenido de sólidos solubles, acidez, pH y el índice de madurez fueron evaluados en frutas recolectadas en tres períodos de cosecha diferentes, en el departamento de Cundinamarca. Se evaluaron y analizaron 30 frutos por genotipo y periodo. Los 10 genotipos mostraron diferencias importantes que permitieron separarlos en cinco grupos diferentes; sin embargo, los genotipos 8, 4 y 6 mostraron los mejores resultados en cuanto a tamaño, color, contenido de jugo, contenido total de sólidos solubles, índice de madurez, firmeza y baja acidez. Estas características los hacen buenos candidatos para ser incorporados en los programas de propagación. Finalmente, el contenido de sólidos solubles fue considerablemente más bajo que los valores reportados para los genotipos Prime Ark, Natchez, Ouachita y Osage, los cuales son reconocidos por estas características sobresalientes.
