The cultivated strawberry, Fragaria ×ananassa, is one of the youngest domesticated plants. Its 18th century origin via hybridization in Europe between the North American F. virginiana and the South American F. chiloensis was documented by the botanist Antoine Nicolas Duchesne. His 1766 "Natural History of Strawberries" is an extraordinary work that integrates fundamental discoveries on the biol...

Objective: A vertical hydroponic greenhouse system (VHGS) was designed and built to evaluat two strawberry varieties (Festival San Andreas), in planting densities per pot (40 54 plants/m 2 ) three elevation levels (high, medium, low). Design/Methodology/Approach: At 126 days after transplanting (dat), the Festival variety showed significant differences number of leaves crown diameter. Results: ...

Glycosidically bound compounds have been identified in a vast number of fruits. They have been extensively studied in the cases of grapes and wines (Williams et al., 1980, 1982 a, b; Strauss et al., 1988; Gunata et al., 1990 a, b; Roscher, Winterhalter, 1993; Baumes et al., 1994; Sefton et al., 1994) and for other fruits such as mangoes (Adedeji et al., 1992), peaches (Krammer et al., 1991; Sum...

This study evaluated the phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch., cv. Primoris) cultivated under reduction nitrogen adverse irrigation conditions (high salinity), such as those prevailing in Almeria (south-eastern Spain). The compound anthocyanin profiles were analysed by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn, activity. Nineteen compounds quantified, mainly ellagitannins...

Ectopic expression of the strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa) gene FaPE1 encoding pectin methyl esterase produced in the wild species Fragaria vesca partially demethylated oligogalacturonides (OGAs), which conferred partial resistance of ripe fruits to the fungus Botrytis cinerea. Analyses of metabolic and transcriptional changes in the receptacle of the transgenic fruits revealed channelling of met...

Ekstrak daun stroberi (Fragaria x ananassa var Duchesne) dilaporkan memiliki aktivitas tabir surya yang baik. Namun, diperlukan formulasi dosis sesuai untuk tahap selanjutnya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan memformulasi emulgel dari ekstrak etanol menggunakan uji sifat fisik, stabilitas, dan nilai SPF. Daun diekstraksi dengan metode refluks 96%. dianalisis kandungan kimianya KLT. Emu...

Bare root transplants of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. cv. ‘Selva’) were transferred to nutrient solutions with or without iron (Fe). After six weeks of growth, plants in the solution without Fe were chlorotic and had morphological changes in roots typical of Fe deficiency. At this point, four treatments were imposed with three replicates (plants) each: plants always grown without Fe (F...

The PR10 family protein Fra a 1E from strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is down-regulated in white strawberry mutants, and transient RNAi (RNA interference)-mediated silencing experiments confirmed that Fra a 1 is involved in fruit pigment synthesis. In the present study, we determined the solution structure of Fra a 1E. The protein fold is identical with that of other members of the PR10 protei...
