TFL1 homolog integrates temperature signals to control timing of developmental transitions in woodland strawberry

This study identifies FvTFL1 as a key regulator of temperature-responsive reproductive development in woodland strawberry, showing how it integrates temperature signals to control developmental timing.

Variation in phenotypic plasticity of metabolic and performance traits along a latitudinal gradient in Woodland Strawberry

This study examines phenotypic plasticity in woodland strawberry genotypes across a latitudinal gradient, finding that plasticity varies by trait and is influenced by long-term temperature rather than precipitation.

FvTFL1 reverses the function of FvGI-FvCO-FvFT1 pathway in the photoperiodic flowering of woodland strawberry

This study identifies the role of FvTFL1 in reversing the photoperiodic flowering pathway in woodland strawberry, showing its interaction with FvGI, FvCO, and FvFT1 in different photoperiod conditions.

To self or to clone? Southern European woodland strawberry genotypes self-fertilize, whereas eastern European genotypes clone in a pollinator-free common garden.

The paper compares self-fertilization and clonal reproduction in European woodland strawberry genotypes under pollinator-free conditions, finding a trade-off and geographic patterns in reproductive strategies.

Context-dependent selection and genetic facilitation and constraint on rosette diameter and herbivore resistance across European outdoor common gardens under ambient and reduced precipitation in Fragaria vesca

This study examines how selection and genetic variation interact to influence rosette diameter and herbivore resistance in Fragaria vesca under different precipitation conditions across multiple sites.

Late Quaternary climatic impact on the woodland strawberry genome: a perennial herb's tale

This study analyzes 200 woodland strawberry genomes to reveal population structure and demographic history across glacial-interglacial cycles, identifying genetic clusters and refugia.

Uncovering the genetic basis of fruit volatiles in Fragaria vesca through GWAS reveals FvJMT2 as a methyl benzoate biosynthesis gene with insect-repellent function

This study uses GWAS in Fragaria vesca to identify FvJMT2 as a gene involved in methyl benzoate biosynthesis, which has insect-repellent properties and is associated with fruit volatiles.

FvFT1-FvTFL1 epistasis drives flowering time adaptation in woodland strawberry

This study identifies FvFT1-FvTFL1 epistasis as a mechanism controlling flowering time adaptation in woodland strawberry across diverse climates.

Naturally occurring variation in gene-associated transposable elements impacts gene expression and phenotypic diversity in woodland strawberry

This paper identifies gene-associated transposable elements in woodland strawberry that influence gene expression and phenotypic diversity through epigenetic mechanisms.

A chromosome-length genome assembly and annotation of blackberry (Rubus argutus, cv. Hillquist)

The paper presents a chromosome-length genome assembly and annotation of the blackberry species Rubus argutus, identifying candidate genes for primocane-fruiting.

Temperature-induced methylome changes during asexual reproduction trigger transcriptomic and phenotypic changes in Fragaria vesca

This study shows that temperature-induced methylome changes during asexual reproduction in Fragaria vesca lead to transcriptomic and phenotypic changes, with ecotype-specific methylation patterns and gene expression effects.
