In the Bogota Plateau (Bogota Savanna-Colombia), strawberry cultivation (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is established from 2,000 to 2,800 m a.s.l. this environment relative humidity generally greater than 70% and temperature fluctuates between 14 22°C; a favorable climate for development of fungal diseases. Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) most important disease here fruit losses can exceed 40% produc...

The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is an important berry crop worldwide due to its flavourful taste, and high content of nutrients and health-beneficial phytochemicals. Derived from interspecific hybridization of the octoploids F. virginiana and F. chiloensis, a vast number of strawberry varieties have been developed adopted to varying growth environments, and in order to mee...

To assess underlying metabolic processes and regulatory mechanisms during cold exposure of strawberry, integrative "omic" approaches were applied to Fragaria × ananassa Duch. 'Korona.' Both root and leaf tissues were examined for responses to the cold acclimation processes. Levels of metabolites, proteins, and transcripts in tissues from plants grown at 18°C were compared to those following 1-1...

Crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum) causes significant economic losses in strawberry production. The best control strategy would be to use resistant cultivars, but polygenically inherited resistance makes the breeding of the garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) challenging. The diploid wild strawberry Fragaria vesca Hawaii 4 genotype was shown previously to have resistance against crown rot. T...

The present investigation was carried out at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj during the Winter season 2022. experiment laid in Randomized block design with 3 replications 10 treatments viz. Poultry manure (8t/ha), Vermicompost (10t/ha), FYM (25t/ha) each al...

The gene encoding stilbene synthase is frequently used to modify plant secondary metabolism with the aim of producing the self-defence phytoalexin resveratrol. In this study, strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) was transformed with the NS-Vitis3 gene encoding stilbene synthase from frost grape (Vitis riparia) under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S and the floral filament-specific fi...

In order to provide useful genomic information for agronomical plants, we have established a database, the Kazusa Marker DataBase (http://marker.kazusa.or.jp). This database includes information on DNA markers, e.g., SSR and SNP markers, genetic linkage maps, and physical maps, that were developed at the Kazusa DNA Research Institute. Keyword searches for the markers, sequence data used for mar...
