Fragaria vesca, a diploid woodland strawberry with a small and sequenced genome, is an excellent model for studying fruit development. The strawberry fruit is unique in that the edible flesh is actually enlarged receptacle tissue. The true fruit are the numerous dry achenes dotting the receptacle's surface. Auxin produced from the achene is essential for the receptacle fruit set, a paradigm for...

The blends of flavor compounds produced by fruits serve as biological perfumes used to attract living creatures, including humans. They include hundreds of metabolites and vary in their characteristic fruit flavor composition. The molecular mechanisms by which fruit flavor and aroma compounds are gained and lost during evolution and domestication are largely unknown. Here, we report on processe...

The Trihelix is a plant-specific transcription factor family and has critical roles in plant growth development stress resistance. There less information about genes their potential functions strawberries (Fragaria vesca). In the present study, we performed detailed bioinformatics analysis of including physicochemical properties, chromosomal location, exon–intron distribution, domain arrangemen...
