Heat stress negatively affects pollination, fertilization, and consequently, the development of strawberry fruits. It was proved that foliar application titanium organic complex improved pollination fertilization processes some plant species, which resulted in better fruit development. Therefore, a three-year experiment designed to determine effect on consequently three remontant cultivars grow...

the susceptibility to terbacil of six randomly selected strawberry cultivars (‘aromas’, ‘chambly’, ‘harmonie’, ‘kent’, ‘la clé des champs’ and ‘seascape’) was analysed using chlorophyll florescence (cf) in comparison with visual observation, in an attempt to develop a method for use in a breeding programme to select herbicide-resistant strawberry lines. terbacil was applied at one of five rates...

The relative susceptibility of 44 genotypes of wild Fragaria L. and commercial cultivars of strawberry Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. to Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood and Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb) Filipjev & Shuurmans Stekhoven was evaluated in the greenhouse. Eleven genotypes were highly resistant to populations of M. hapla from Washington State and Oregon, with Rf values (initial nematode density/...

Anthocyanins are the resultant end-point metabolites of phenylapropanoid/flavonoid (F/P) pathway which is regulated at transcriptional level via a series of structural genes. Identifying the key genes and their potential interactions can provide us with the clue for novel points of intervention for improvement of the trait in strawberry. We profiled the expressions of putative regulatory and bi...

To gain insight into the molecular basis contributing to overwintering hardiness, a comprehensive proteomic analysis comparing crowns of octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) cultivars that differ in freezing tolerance was conducted. Four cultivars were examined for freeze tolerance and the most cold-tolerant cultivar ('Jonsok') and least-tolerant cultivar ('Frida') were compared with a go...

Abstract The experiments was carried out in an unheated Plastic house unit of the Department Horticulture and Landscape Design / College Agriculture Forestry University Mosul for years 2021-2022 with aim enhancement vegetative growth three cultivars Strawberry, Festival, Ruby Gem Liberation D, Orleans. Factorial experiment according to split-plot system so that were placed main-plot, while nano...

Plants have several L-ascorbic acid (AsA) biosynthetic pathways, but the contribution of each one to the synthesis of AsA varyies between different species, organs, and developmental stages. Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa) fruits are rich in AsA. The pathway that uses D-galacturonate as the initial substrate is functional in ripe fruits, but the contribution of other pathways to AsA biosynthesis...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress on some physiological parameters in grapevine, a potted experiment with iranian grapevine cultivars ‘sahani’, ‘bidane-sefid’ and ‘farkhii’ was conducted in summer of 2008. the experiment was performed while employing four drought stress (water potential of soil, ?s= -0.2, -0.6, -1, -1.5 mpa) treatments each in three replicati...

Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) production requires the input of large amounts water provided by irrigation during entire cycle. However, availability is shrinking in many important strawberry cropping areas, such as Huelva (in Europe), compromising environmental sustainability and economic viability production. Besides technical approaches, water-saving strategies are necessary for improv...
