Strawberry tree fruits (Arbutus unedo L.) are a natural source of valuable biologically active compounds. Therefore, the aim this work was to develop green extraction approach using pressurized liquid (PLE) provide highest yield bioactive Different solvents (distilled water, 50% and 96% ethanol) different PLE parameters were investigated: temperature (40, 80, 120 °C), static time (5 10 min), nu...

Genetic analysis of plants relies on high yields of pure DNA. For the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) this represents a great challenge since leaves can accumulate large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and secondary metabolites, which co-purify with DNA. For this specie, standard protocols do not produce efficient yields of high-quality amplifiable DNA. Here, we present for the first ti...
