this research was carried out to investigate the effect of different levels of potassium (in nutrient solution), harvest season and plant density on yield and quality of strawberry cv. selvain hydroponic system conditions. the tests were done in the greenhouse, and laboratories of horticultural science department of the university colleg of agriculture and natural resources of tehran university...

Strawberry, the most significant berry crop, is characterized as a salt-sensitive plant. The present study aimed to examine ways alleviate salinity symptoms (34 mM of NaCl in irrigation water) strawberry plants. For this purpose, osmolyte glycine betaine was foliarly applied, mixture bentonite–zeolite added substrate, and microbial product based on Bacillys amyloliquefaciens soil drench were te...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect potassium fertilization source and dose on productivity quality parameters strawberry. trial was conducted in 2016-2017 at experimental greenhouse Hassan II Institute Agronomy Veterinary Sciences Rabat. Strawberry plants cultivar “San Andreas” were planted November 6th 12 liter pots equipped with a gravity fertigation system. design spli...

Saba banana, Musa ‘saba’(Musa acuminata x Musa balbisiana) peel is an underutilized waste from processed banana manufacturing in the Philippines. The feasibility of saba banana peel pectin for use in food processing was assessed. Pectin from saba banana peel was extracted under two different extraction conditions. Pectin extraction was carried out using hydrochloric acid (0.5N, pH 1.5) and citr...

The acute effect of complexity in aroma composition on perceived satiation and food intake was investigated in 41 young, healthy, and normal weight subjects. Subjects consumed 2 different strawberry-aromatized sweetened yogurt products (i.e., test and placebo product) in either an olfactometer-aided or an ad libitum eating experimental design. The test product was aromatized with a multicompone...

ABSTRACT Anthracnose is one of the major fungal diseases of strawberry occurring worldwide. In Israel, the disease is caused primarily by the species Colletotrichum acutatum. The pathogen causes black spot on fruit, root necrosis, and crown rot resulting in mortality of transplants in the field. The host range and specificity of C. acutatum from strawberry was examined on pepper, eggplant, toma...

BACKGROUND: Information on absorption and metabolism of strawberry polyphenols is limited. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to characterize and quantify plasma polyphenols/anthocyanins across 4 doses of strawberry using Q-TOF LC/MS and LC-MS/MS analysis. METHOD: Plasma was collected from 5 subjects (n= 5) every 30–60 min for 6 h after consuming beverages containing 0, 10, 20 or 40 g freeze-...

ABSTRACT Ninety-five isolates of Colletotrichum including 81 isolates of C. acutatum (62 from strawberry) and 14 isolates of C. gloeosporioides (13 from strawberry) were characterized by various molecular methods and pathogenicity tests. Results based on random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) polymorphism and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 2 sequence data provided clear genetic evidence of ...

Strawberry bioactive compounds are widely known to be powerful antioxidants. In this study, the antioxidant and anti-aging activities of a polyphenol-rich strawberry extract were evaluated using human dermal fibroblasts exposed to H2O2. Firstly, the phenol and flavonoid contents of strawberry extract were studied, as well as the antioxidant capacity. HPLC-DAD analysis was performed to determine...

Xanthomonas fragariae is a foliar pathogen of strawberry that is of significant concern to nursery production of strawberry transplants and field production of strawberry fruit. Long-read sequencing was employed to generate finished genomes for two isolates (each with one chromosome and two plasmids) from symptomatic plants in northern California.
