The Globe – Climate Zones
• Berry Fruits are grown in the ”green” areas – Temperate
Climate, and in the Southern part if the ”blue” areas – Polar
Climate

Fruit Breeding
• All based on classical hybridisation
• Selection of parents and early identification of desired trait combinations crucial
• Modern selection methods utilising cutting edge research findings
(markers, metabolic profiling etc)
Raspberry Cultivars
• Renowned for the “Glen”
series of raspberry cultivars
• First cultivar, Glen Clova was released in 1969
• Glen Lyon is current
industry standard in Spain
• Glen Ample is the current
industry standard in the UK
New Raspberry Varieties
Glen Doll
• Parentage: (Glen Rosa x 8605C-2)
• Released in 2006
• Mid to late season
• Originally selected and developed for machine harvesting
• Excellent fruit quality and shelf life
• Sweet raspberry flavour
• A10 resistance to aphids
• Good tolerance to cane diseases
Glen Fyne
• Parentage: (8631D-1 x 8605C-2)
• More productive than Glen Ample at SCRI
• Large sweet fruit with good shelf life
• Good machine harvest-ability
• Spinefree
• A10resistance to aphids
• Suitable for fresh and processing markets
Linking Phenotype to Genotype in Raspberry • Markers for breeding
— earlier selection of desirable traits
— more rapid production of varieties
• Gene Identification
— better understanding of important processes
— increased knowledge of trait heritability
— knowledge-based breeding
• Genotyping
— fingerprinting and varietal identification
— linking genotype and phenotype
— genetic linkage maps
Blackberries
Loch Tay
• released in 2003
• thornfree
• early season
• condensed ripening
• sweet and aromatic
Loch Maree
• released in 2006
• thornfree
• early-mid season
• beautiful pink double blossom
• sweet and aromatic
Breeding for Fruit Quality
• Increased public and political awareness of dietary factors influencing health
• Berry fruit can play a major part in improving nutritional value of diet
• Increase in research effort in public and private sectors e.g. SCRI Raspberry
consortium (PPP)
• Pending EU legislation to limit addition of vitamins etc. to fruit juices and other
products
