- * The 10 mg·L concentration of sodium selenite promoted plant growth, while 40 mg·L significantly improved fruit weight, sweetness, and antioxidant properties, along with changes in sugar and acid metabolism.
- * The findings suggest that sodium selenite treatment can enhance both plant growth and fruit quality in strawberries, indicating its potential use for better nutrient supplementation.
Fruit softening is a crucial factor that controls shelf life and commercial value. Pectate lyase (PL) has a major role in strawberry fruit softening. However, the gene family in strawberry has not been comprehensively analyzed.

Being one of the most abundant groups of natural polyphenolic antioxidant, PAs are applied to improve plant tolerance to (a)biotic stresses and delay the senescence of fruit by scavenging the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhancing antioxidant responses. The effects of PAs on coloring and softening of strawberries ( Duch.
