Novel substrate affinity of FaCCR1 and FaCCR1/FaOCT4 expression control the content of medium-chain esters in strawberry fruit

The paper identifies FaCCR1 and FaOCT4 genes that control medium-chain ester content in strawberries, leading to the development of a predictive KASP assay for aroma improvement.

Differential expression ofCCD4(4B) drives natural variation in fruit carotenoidcontent in strawberry ( Fragaria spp.)

This study identifies CCD4(4B) as a gene driving natural variation in fruit carotenoid content in strawberries through differential expression and SNP analysis.

Strawberry phenotypic plasticity in flowering time is driven by interaction between genetic loci and temperature

The paper identifies temperature-modulated QTL for flowering time plasticity in strawberries and develops a genetic marker for breeding applications.
