Summary: This study utilized comprehensive transcriptomic analyses to investigate gene expression during fruit development in cultivated strawberries. Differences in gene expression, particularly in flavonoid biosynthesis, were found between diploid and octoploid strawberries. Species-specific regulated networks were identified in the fruit of both octoploid and diploid plants, providing insights for future molecular breeding in cultivated strawberries.

Summary: Genomic imprinting has become a focus in plant biology, with the identification of numerous conserved imprinted genes in strawberries. Five maternally expressed genes were found in the endosperm, but not imprinted in the embryo. This study provides a method for screening imprinted genes based on homologous conservation in Fragaria, laying the groundwork for further research on genomic imprinting in F. vesca.

Summary: Secondary cell wall thickening is important for plant growth, development, and stress resistance. Lignin is a major component of the secondary cell wall and is synthesized through the phenylpropanoid pathway. In this study, the researchers investigated the regulatory mechanisms of lignin and flavonoid synthesis in diploid strawberry fruits. They found that the VND4c gene plays a key role in secondary cell wall thickening and fruit color change, and the overexpression of FvVND4c resulted in the accumulation of lignin and flavonoids. Additionally, they identified FvMYB46 as a downstream regulator of FvVND4c. Both FvVND4c and FvMYB46 were found to regulate phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways, leading to lignin synthesis for secondary cell wall thickening.

Summary: This study identified the CesA and Csl gene families in the genome of woodland strawberry and explored their protein structures, evolutionary relationships, and promoter cis-acting elements. Transcriptome analysis and qRT-PCR revealed a significant decrease in the transcript levels of many CesA and Csl genes during fruit ripening. Additionally, the expression levels of several genes were altered after NDGA treatment. Overexpression of FveCesA4 delayed fruit ripening, while FveCesA4-RNAi had the opposite effect. These findings shed light on the molecular mechanism of CesA/Csl-mediated cell wall synthesis in regulating fruit ripening and could be useful in developing new strawberry varieties with extended shelf-life.

Summary: In this study, 31 HD-Zip genes were identified and classified into four subfamilies in strawberry. Promoter analysis revealed the prevalence of ABA-responsive element ABRE in subfamilies I and II. RT-qPCR results showed that the expression of 10 investigated genes changed in response to exogenous ABA, dehydration, and ABA-induced senescence. Specifically, genes from subfamilies I and II exhibited enhanced expression during fruit ripening and could bind the promoter of an ABA signaling gene. These findings strongly support the involvement of FveHDZs in ABA-mediated processes in strawberry.

Summary: The study aimed to establish an efficient in vitro propagation method for wild strawberries. Leaf explants were used to induce callus formation on a medium containing different combinations of cytokinins and auxins, leading to successful organogenesis, shoot regeneration, and rooting. The findings suggest that the established protocol could be beneficial for further research on transgenic plants and large-scale propagation of wild strawberries.

Summary: This study compared the effect of different growing media (soil and hydroponic system) on the fruit quality and phytochemical contents of two cultivars of strawberries (Yellow Wonder and Camarosa). The results showed that the fruit weight, firmness, and soluble solid content were higher in the hydroponic media. Glucose and fructose content were higher in the soil media, with Yellow Wonder having higher values than Camarosa. The total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity were higher in the soil media, with Yellow Wonder having higher values than Camarosa. Overall, Yellow Wonder had better pomological characteristics than Camarosa.

Summary: By genome-wide investigation, sixteen pectate lyase gene family members were identified in Fragaria vesca. Significant divergences were found among FvePLs in terms of gene duplication, cis-acting elements, and tissue expression patterns. FvePL6, 8, and 13 were determined to have significant expansions during evolution. FvePLs were closely correlated with transcription factors and genes involved in plant development, abiotic/biotic stresses, ions/Ca2+, and hormones.

Summary: This study compared the fruit transcriptomes and flavonoid contents of FN (white skin; control) and its interspecific hybrids BF1 and BF2 (pale red skin). Two pelargonidin derivatives were identified as potential key pigments for the coloration of BF1 and BF2 fruits. In addition, the expression levels of DFR and BZ1 genes were significantly up-regulated in the two hybrids. This study provides important insights into the regulation of anthocyanidin biosynthesis in FN and its interspecific hybrids.

Summary: This study identified 16 WUSCHEL-related homeobox genes in woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca, and found that they are highly conserved within their respective clades. The expression analysis showed that these genes are widely expressed in various tissues of Fragaria vesca and are affected by 6-benzylaminopurine and gibberellin treatment.

Summary: A total of 119 AP2/EREBP genes were identified in Fragaria vesca, divided into different subfamilies. The DREB subfamily was further classified into six subgroups. Transcriptome analysis revealed distinctive expression patterns among FvDREB genes in response to drought stress, indicating their potential roles in drought tolerance of strawberry.

Summary: In this study, a new 1R-MYB TF gene, FvMYB114, was obtained from Fragaria vesca and found to enhance the adaptability and tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana to salt and low temperature. FvMYB114 also promotes the expression of genes related to salt and cold stress, further improving the tolerance of transgenic plants.

Summary: Aquaporins are vital in the ripening process of strawberries, with Fv PIP2-1a being the most strongly expressed protein. Molecular simulations revealed that the mutant FvPIP2-1a_H214G enhances water flux, while the H214E mutation obstructs the flow of water through the channel.
