Abstract: A method for disinfecting explants of Kadsura coccinea stems with buds and a method for directly inducing rapid proliferation of sterile buds by using the explants of Kadsura coccinea stems with buds involve processes such as selection, treatment and disinfection of explants, primary culture, subculture proliferation culture. The problem of difficulty in tissue culture and primary culture of Kadsura coccinea stems is solved, and the advantages include low contamination rate of explants, high propagation rate and robust proliferation of axillary buds. This allows obtaining sterile axillary buds of Kadsura coccinea through tissue culture, and provides support for tissue culture, rapid propagation and factory seedling of Kadsura coccinea in the future.

Abstract: A new and distinct blackberry cultivar that originated from seed produced from a cross between the thornless semi-erect maternal blackberry plant ‘Eclipse’ and the thorny erect paternal blackberry plant ORUS 3681-1, the latter of which introduces genetics from cultivated and wild Rubus germplasm from the southeastern U.S. This new blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by its high plant vigor, exceptional yields of small-to-medium sized berries with high gloss, low defects, excellent flavor and fruit quality, and high heat tolerance. The berries are well suited for fresh eating, with good sweetness, aroma, and gloss when picked firm. The new and distinct blackberry variety has fruit that are borne on vigorous canes which contain the ‘Merton Thornless’ source of genetic thornlessness.

Abstract: A new and distinct blackberry cultivar that originated from seed produced from a cross between the thorny primocane-fruiting maternal blackberry plant ORUS 4355-2 and the thornless primocane-fruiting paternal blackberry plant ‘Prime-Ark® Freedom’. ‘Thunderhead’ is the first primocane-fruiting blackberry variety released by the USDA-ARS breeding program in Oregon. This new blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by its exceptionally high plant vigor and yields of medium sized berries with high gloss, firmness, excellent flavor and fruit quality, and relatively small seed size. The berries are well suited for fresh eating, with good sweetness and gloss when picked firm, and low bitter notes. The new and distinct blackberry variety contains a genetic background derived from eastern U.S. germplasm and is expected to grow and is expected to perform well in most areas where primocane-fruiting blackberries are currently grown.
