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.

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.

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.

Genome-wide association studies in a diverse strawberry collection unveil loci controlling agronomic and fruit quality traits

This study identifies 121 marker-trait associations across 95 QTLs for 26 agronomic and fruit quality traits in strawberries, with a major QTL on chromosome 6A linked to fruit firmness via the FaPG1 gene.

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.
