- Abstract
The available raspberry cultivars are rapidly changing, highlighting the need for improvement in raspberry cultivars. Fruit quality assessment is crucial for red raspberry assortment breeding, with being essential for consumer acceptance. This study aimed to characterize raspberry fruits from different progenies morphologically. The data collected included average fruit weight, shape index, colour and soluble solids. The results showed significant variation in fruit weight and soluble solids content among the progenies. The fruit weight ranged from 2.50 g/fruit ('16-22-4') and 3.52 g/fruit ('16-22-5') and the soluble solids content: 11.20°Brix ('16-23-20') and 17.30°Brix ('16-1-23'). Based on the fruit quality, certain genotypes were identified as promising for future steps in the breeding program, including '16-1-10', '16-1-11', '16-1-22', '16-22-5', '16-22-11' and '16-23-20'.
