A recessive gene for spinelessness in the raspberry (gene s) was first reported in 1939, when it was discovered in the heterozygous condition in Burnetholm, a Scottish cultivar of unknown parentage (3). Burnetholm has been a valuable parent in raspberry breeding and its derivatives have been used extensively in Britain, Canada and the U.S. Several spiney cultivars have been obtained from them and the first spine-free cultivars homozygous for the gene have now been released by the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI).
