The fruit of the strawberry Fragaria×ananassa has traditionally been classified as non-climacteric because its ripening process is not governed by ethylene. However, previous studies have reported timely endogenous production minor amounts ethylene well differential expression genes synthesis, reception, and signalling pathways during development. Mining Fragaria vesca genome allowed for identification two main biosynthetic genes, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase ACC...
Strawberries are highly appreciated for their taste, nutritional value and antioxidant compounds, mainly phenolics. Fruit antioxidants derive from achenes flesh, but achene contribution to the total fruit capacity bioaccessibility after intake is still unknown. In this work, content of phenolic flavonoids, anthocyanins (TEAC, FRAP DPPH) flesh were compared in non-digested as well gastric intestinal extracts vitro digestion. Results showed that, despite strawberry represent a small fraction...
Strawberry fruit quality traits can be affected by genotype–environment interactions, determining the final consumer acceptance of fruits. Trait stability under varying environments is necessary to ensure strawberries selected breeding programs. Hence, inter- and intra-annual variation organoleptic functional parameters five strawberry varieties throughout four consecutive cropping seasons was analyzed assess their relative stability. In most varieties, showed higher inter-annual but greater...
Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) production requires the input of large amounts water provided by irrigation during entire cycle. However, availability is shrinking in many important strawberry cropping areas, such as Huelva (in Europe), compromising environmental sustainability and economic viability production. Besides technical approaches, water-saving strategies are necessary for improving productivity use low water-consumptive cultivars with high or allowing deficit (DI) strategies....
Misshapen fruit represent a significant problem for strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) producers around the world. We investigated effect of cultivar and different cropping practices on productivity plants growing in tunnels at Huelva (Spain) over three years. In first experiment, ‘Camarosa’, ‘Ventana’, ‘Medina’ were planted 10 or 22 Oct. standard (30 25 cm), wide (35 narrow (25 cm) spacings. second ‘Camarosa’ was grown macro- microtunnels with without bees. There no plant density....
BACKGROUND: Huelva (Spain) is the main region for strawberry production in Europe.Most fruit exported fresh consumption to European countries, where consumers demand high quality and appreciate its healthy properties.Strawberry intake a valuable source of antioxidants compounds with important health benefits.The higher antioxidant capacity cultivar, better enhancement human health.OBJECTIVE: The comparative knowledge composition on variation along cropping season, ten cultivars cropped at...
Fruit deformation is a phenomenon commonly observed in commercial strawberry cultivars (Fragaria×ananassa) with negative impact on the economic benefit of crop production. To better understand this physiopathy, we evaluated fruit size and relative amount 'small' (<0.4 mm) 'big' achenes (>0.6 misshapen (MF) well-formed (WF) fruits from 'Camarosa', 'Ventana' 'Medina' growing field. In size-dependent functionality was assessed by analysing germinability differences time to ripening between MF...
Abstract FaMADS9 is the strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa ) gene that exhibits highest homology to tomato Solanum lycopersicum RIN gene. Transgenic lines were obtained in which was silenced. The fruits of these did not show differences basic parameters, such as fruit firmness or colour, but exhibited lower Brix values three four independent lines. ontology MapMan category most enriched among differentially expressed genes receptacles at white stage corresponded regulation transcription,...
Environmental factors affecting flower development may limit the yields of fruiting crops worldwide. In temperate regions, chilling temperatures during can compromise fruit production, but their negative effects vary depending on differing susceptibilities each developmental stage. The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duch.) is widely grown worldwide financial returns are influenced by sudden shifts to occurring cropping cycle. Despite this important limitation, knowledge F.×...
White root rot (WRR) disease caused by Rosellinia necatrix is one of the most important threats affecting avocado orchards in temperate regions. In this study, we monitored progression WRR at leaf and levels combination nondestructive chlorophyll fluorescence measurements confocal laser-scanning microscopy on genotypes susceptible to R. necatrix. Leaf photochemistry was affected early stages development prior appearance aboveground symptoms, made evident as significant decreases trapping...
The white rot root disease caused by Rosellinia necatrix is a major concern for avocado cultivation in Spain. Healthy escapes of trees surrounded diseased prompted us to hypothesize the presence hypovirulent R. due mycovirus infections. Recently, we reported another fungal species, Entoleuca sp., belonging Xylariaceae, that was also found healthy and frequently co-infecting same roots than necatrix. We investigated mycoviruses might explain hypovirulence. For that, performed deep sequencing...
Strawberry fruits are highly appreciated by consumers worldwide due to their bright red color, typical aroma, and juicy texture. While the biological activity of complete fruit has been widely studied, potential beneficial effects achenes (commonly named seeds) remain unknown. In addition, when raw consumed, digestion process could alter release absorption phytochemical compounds, compromising bioactivity. present work, we evaluated protective against oxidative damage nondigested digested...
The red colour of most berries is often associated to fruit healthiness, since it has been linked enrichment in anthocyanins (polyphenol with antioxidative properties). However, recent studies suggest that could not be the major contributors bioactivity leading uncertainty about their role as important molecules generation health-promoting properties. To shed light on this issue, spectrophotometric and HPLC techniques were used for characterizing content phenolic compounds, including...
There is an increasing demand in the market to improve strawberry quality by promoting human-health compounds content, as these may play a significant role prevention of chronic diseases. Strawberry cultivars, environmental conditions, and agronomical conditions have effect on fruit characteristics; therefore, it necessary constantly generate information about cultivar response different production areas cultural practices. The goal this work was evaluate two planting dates, harvest four...
BACKGROUND: Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is among the most widely consumed fruits in world and its cultivation increasing worldwide. This continuous increase acreage concomitant with development of new varieties by numerous breeding programs. Due to strawberry a microclimatic crop, behaviour cultivars could vary depending on many agronomical environmental factors such as temperature or humidity. Thus, for some traits, data from single crop season may not be enough suspect specific...
This research was carried out in order to know about the effect of low temperature on strawberry carpels maturation and finally obtaining misshapen fruit. Two groups 20 plants (cv. 'Camarosa') were put down temperatures 22 or 7°C with a photoperiod 11 h light/13h dark. Then, five flowers at different development stages: 4, 3, 2, 1 days before anthesis 1, 5 7 after chosen pollinated. 24 hours later, each case, carpel estimated. Results showed differences under culture conditions, according...
