Selected light wavebands promote plant development and/or the biosynthesis of targeted metabolites. This work offers new insights on effects red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W - R:G:B; 1:1:1) LED supplementation physiochemical traits strawberry leaves. Gas exchange chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, photosynthetic pigments, superoxide anion (*O2-) content were analysed in plants grown...

This project is presented as an innovative and clean alternative that optimizes the use of small areas for strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch) production in department Nariño. research was conducted at Centro Internacional de Producción Limpia Lope -SENA- Regional Nariño, with aim evaluating physical chemical variables organic substrates such coconut fiber, rice husk, their mixtures variety Alb...

The polyphagous brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys Stål.) is an important pest in many countries. Recently it was noticed that can feed on and cause damage to strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.). metabolic response of attacks studied. Brown bugs attacked strawberry fruit which had 18% lower total sugar content compared the control treatment. However, organic acid no significant ...

Low nitrogen stress severely impedes crop growth and productivity. There has been substantial research on root adaptation to low conditions in many plant species. However, the mechanism underlying morphological response of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) low-NO3− or low-NH4+ remains poorly understood. Strawberry plants were hydroponically cultivated under 1 mM NO3−, NH4+, control (15 NO3...

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was applied to identify the potential environmental impact of dredged sediments used as growing media for food crops. came from Livorno port and were previously phytoremediated. For assay, strawberry plants (Fragaria x ananassa Duch vr. ‘San Andreas’) used. cultivated on three different substrates (100% peat, 100% sediment 50% mix peat/sediment) real ...

'Niigata S3' is a new strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivar that is early flowering and possesses high soluble solid content and good coloration. It was selected from a cross between Kei812 (seed parent) and 'Asuka-Ruby' (pollen parent). The first harvest date of 'Niigata S3' was December 27, 34 days earlier than 'Echigohime' and 9 days earlier than 'Asuka-Ruby' (means of 2007 and 200...

We investigated the transferability of 20 Fragaria vesca microsatellite primer pairs to 13 Fragaria vesca accessions, six Fragaria species and ten commercially important species in Rosaceae. Genetic diversity studies were carried among 16 diploid Fragaria accessions using these polymorphic microsatellites. The average number of alleles amplified for a polymorphic locus was 4.7 with maximum bein...
