Woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca) is a wild relative of cultivated (F. × ananassa) producing small and typically conical fruits with an intense flavor aroma. The species, F. vesca, rich resource genetic metabolic variability, but its diversity remains largely unexplored unexploited. In this study, we aim for in-depth characterization the fruit complex volatilome by GC–MS as well size shape using European germplasm collection that represents continental species. We report characteristic footprints phenotypes specific geographical areas. Thus, study uncovers phenotypic variation linked to distribution will be valuable further studies identify candidate genes or develop markers volatile compounds traits.
