The reproductive strategies found in Rubus niveus ‘mora’ exceed expectations of any vegetable species lover, it is a specie that has had a low profile in its natural environment. However, in a new environment (Galápagos Islands), it could extend to different zones in islands like: Isabela, Santiago, San Cristóbal and Santa Cruz, becoming in the two last ones a big problem for the local biota. This article is a brief description about some aspects referring to this species and brings up a possible line of research about its eradication through genetic engineering to achieve this purpose.
