Variety traits
Rubus idaeus L.
The waxy bloom on annual raspberry canes is a stable morphological trait of a cultivar, used in breeding and variety testing to evaluate plant adaptability and resistance.
In the reference 28 varieties crop Red raspberry, where this is mentioned in the description.
In agronomic practice and breeding descriptions, the intensity of the waxy bloom on raspberry canes is assessed visually using a qualitative scale, categorized into weak, medium, and strong degrees of expression. This indicator serves as an important identification trait for cultivar characterization, alongside cane prickle morphology and the pubescence patterns of vegetative organs.
The presence of a pronounced waxy layer performs a protective function, preventing excessive moisture evaporation and increasing the resistance of canes to adverse environmental factors. Furthermore, a heavy bloom correlates with increased plant resistance to several fungal infections, particularly purple blotch, and reduces the risk of damage by certain types of pests.
