- The study focuses on the cultivated strawberry, which has been the subject of increased genetic research, specifically looking at sucrose metabolism in two varieties: 'Rubygem' and 'Fortuna'.
- The research examines fruit development stages (red, pink, green, and white), finding red fruits contained the highest sugar content while green fruits had the lowest; overall sugar levels were similar between varieties.
- The study reveals a positive correlation between sugar content and invertase enzyme activity, but a negative correlation between enzyme activity and gene expression, with the lowest invertase activities observed in green fruits.
