In marketable crops, fruit characteristics such as taste, size, and color must be adjusted to consumer demands. This positions the species from the genus Rubus with interesting perspectives due to its versatility to satisfy different markets. Species of this genus have been selected and backcrossed to obtain homogeneous crops with fruit that fits the demanded characteristics; however, after repeated cycles of selection and breeding, the species's genetic variability decreases and its susceptibility to pathogens increases, diminishing the crops' viability, vigor, and yield.
