The fresh-market blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus) industry has expanded dramatically in the past 2 decades, driven in part by improved cultivars. Introgression of the primocane-fruiting (PF; annual flowering) trait into elite germplasm has enabled dual cropping in a single year, season extension, and cultivation in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite its economic performance, the genetic basis of PF is not...
