Microbial biofertilizers increase fruit aroma content of Fragaria × ananassa by improving photosynthetic efficiency

Impact of Agricultural and Environmental Factors on Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) Aroma – A Review

The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is an important berry crop worldwide due to its flavourful taste, and high content of nutrients and health-beneficial phytochemicals. Derived from interspecific hybridization of the octoploids F. virginiana and F. chiloensis, a vast number of strawberry varieties have been developed adopted to varying growth environments, and in order to mee...

Proteomic Response and Quality Maintenance in Postharvest Fruit of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) to Exogenous Cytokinin

The limitations in current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying fruit response to the application of plant growth regulators have increasingly become major challenges in improvement of crop quality. This study aimed to evaluate the response of strawberry to the preharvest application of exogenous cytokinin known as forchlorfenuron (CPPU). Postharvest internal and physiological q...

Salinity, Supplementary Calcium and Potassium Effects on Fruit Yield and Quality of Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.)

Fruit set and quality in strawberry cv. Selva were influenced by salinity (NaCl) and supplementary calcium and potassium (CaSO , CaCl , K SO ) treatments applied to the root medium of plants growing in 4 2 2 4 soilless culture under heated greenhouse conditions. Yield components such as primary fruit weight and fresh fruit weight (at harvest time) and fruit number were higher in control and the...
