A method was developed for evaluating strawberry susceptibility to Verticillium wilt in in vitro conditions. Micropropagated strawberry shoots of 15 strawberry cultigens, differing in susceptibility to the disease in field conditions, were treated in vitro with fungal homogenate of Verticillium dahliae, diluted with sterile water in a proportion of 1:10 in order to decrease the pathogen’s press...

A comprehensive in vitro study involving antiglycation, antioxidant and anti-diabetic assays was carried out in mature fruits of strawberry. The effect of aqueous extract of mature strawberry fruits on glycation of guanosine with glucose and fructose with or without oxidizing entities like reactive oxygen species was analyzed. Spectral studies showed that glycation and/or fructation of guanosin...

cDNA and genomic clones encoding a strawberry (Fragariaxananassa cv. Chandler) non-specific lipid transfer protein (Fxaltp gene) were isolated and characterized. The spatio-temporal expression pattern and structural features of this gene were studied for the first time in strawberry, a non-climacteric fruit of agricultural importance. The architecture and the encoded amino acid sequence of this...

Oregon’s strawberry industry has more than a century history. Unfortunately, strawberry production has been declining drastically in the last two half decades due to declining price, rising cost of production and competition from California, Florida, Mexico and China. Most of Oregon’s strawberries were for processing markets. The combination of warm, dry days with cool nights optimizes color an...

The present study investigates the effect of strawberry antioxidants in beverage form on meal-induced postprandial inflammatory and insulin responses in human subjects. Overweight adults (n 24) consumed a high-carbohydrate, moderate-fat meal (HCFM) accompanied by either a strawberry or a placebo beverage in a cross-over design. Postprandial changes in plasma anthocyanins, their metabolites, ins...

Continuous cropping obstacle is a big problem of Strawberry planting. leads to the accumulation phenolic acids, imbalance soil microorganism, deterioration physical and chemical properties, resulting in sharp decline yield quality. At present, prevention cure continuous an urgent be solved. The pathogen does not produce drug resistance, safe fresh fruit pollute environment.

OBJECTIVE To review and update the current knowledge on the potential impact of strawberry on human health, with particular attention on compounds and indirect mechanisms of action not exhaustively considered. DESIGN Personal perspectives and recent data. SETTING International. RESULTS Our research group was among the few groups that have recently investigated the folate content in fresh,...

The study was designed to assess the effect of different strawberry extracts on glucose levels, lipid profiles, and oxidative stress in nicotinamide-streptozotocin (NIC-STZ) induced diabetic rats. The associated changes were evaluated through biochemical, molecular, and histological assays. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ to albino Wistar rats after treatment with nicot...

This study was conducted during 2008-2009 to investigate the influence of different organic nutrient combinations on yields and quality of strawberry cv. Kurdistan in Iran. The experiment comprised of five organic nutrient treatment combinations including the recommended dose of N, P and K through chemical fertilizer as control. Treatment N2 (manure+Azotobacter+ woodash+phosphorus solubilizing ...
