A trial assessing the suitability of multifunctional living mulch to maintain soil and reduce weed infestation was carried out in an organic apple orchard years 2019-2020. Perennial plants (Alchemilla vulgaris, Fragaria vesca, Mentha piperita) annual crops (Tropaeolum majus Cucurbita maxima) were grown rows trees. The weeds number coverage tree assessed. Regardless species utilized, resulted be...

Abstract The aims of the study were: (i) to examine how well hillock forests are distinguishable from comparable site types, (ii) ascertain forest indicator species, (iii) elucidate forests’ community (iv) assess practical requirement for differentiation as a self-sufficient typological unit forestry. data included altogether 160 descriptions communities and 42 relevés other type stands compari...

Strawberry (Fragaria sp.) stands as an interesting model for studying flowering behaviour and its relationship with asexual plant reproduction in polycarpic perennial plants. Strawberry produces both inflorescences and stolons (also called runners), which are lateral stems growing at the soil surface and producing new clone plants. In this study, the flowering and runnering behaviour of two cul...

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is an octoploid (2n=8x=56) species that belongs to the Rosaceae family and the high ploidy level makes genetic and molecular studies difficult. However, its commercial success because of its unique flavor and nutritious qualities has increased interest in the development of genomic resources. Fragaria vesca L. is a diploid (2n=2x=14) species with a sm...

Abstract. Witasari LD, Huang FC, Schwab W. 2022. Identification and characterization of strawberry FvGELP1 (Fragaria vesca GDSL esterase/lipase).Biodiversitas 23: 907-915. Fruit softening is primarily the result hydrolytic enzymes activity. Esterases are reasonable candidates due to their putative role in cell wall components degradation. This study aimed identify characterize a new enzyme rela...

The diploid woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is an important model for fruit crops because of several unique characteristics including the small genome size, an ethylene-independent fruit ripening process, and fruit flesh derived from receptacle tissues rather than the ovary wall which is more typical of fruiting plants. Histone methylation is an important factor in gene regulation in highe...

Background Although draft genomes are available for most agronomically important plant species, the majority are incomplete, highly fragmented, and often riddled with assembly and scaffolding errors. These assembly issues hinder advances in tool development for functional genomics and systems biology. Findings Here we utilized a robust, cost-effective approach to produce high-quality referenc...

Auxin is a plant hormone that highly associated with various biological processes, especially growth, development and fruit ripening. The Small Upregulated RNA (SAUR) genes, whose family the largest one of early auxin response has received less attention from genome-wide analyzes compared to other gene families. In this study, we successfully conducted analysis Fragaria vesca L. identified 66 S...
