Abstract
The effect of cultivar on cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) fruit size and composition was investigated. ‘Ben Lear’, ‘Crowley’, ‘Early Black’, and ‘Franklin’ berries contained about twice the anthocyanin of the other clones. Based on projections of analytical data, potential gain could be enhanced by increasing the proportion of berries that attain high anthocyanin content, seen in individual fruits within samples, as compared to the alternative strategies of breeding for improved anthocyanin content, for small berries, or for synchronous ripening.
) , in an effort to improve yield prediction, evaluated a model that included environmental and physiological factors, but they could only determine that berry number and size were the best predictors of yield. These factors are not useful for early crop
limited amounts of acylated ANC were observed in SHB or REB cultivars with percentages ranging from non-detectable levels to no more than 8% of the total ANC profile in the berry fruit. Significantly higher levels, however, were observed in the selection
epidermal layer where initial rupture of the berry takes place could contribute to the crisp texture observed in some blueberry cultivars. Results of a trained sensory panel that evaluated the texture of several SHB genotypes ranging from soft to crisp also
