Genetic control of sweetness and acidity in blackberry
This work provides important insights on the genetic control of sweetness and acidity in fresh-market blackberries. The genotypic and phenotypic datasets reported in this study can be used to develop diagnostic molecular markers and train genomic selection models to expedite selection of new blackberry cultivars with enhanced sweetness and reduced acidity.
