MicroRNAs are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate mRNAs, mainly at the post-transcriptional level, and play an important role in resistance response of plants. To date, there are few reports on resistance response of strawberry miRNAs to pathogens. In this study, using high-throughput sequencing, 134 conserved and 35 novel miRNAs were identified in six libraries within the treatment of Botrytis cinerea. A total 497 potential target genes were predicted using Fragaria vesca genome. Most of the differential expressed miRNAs in strawberry fruits were up-regulated in early libraries and down-regulated in late libraries. PIRL, the target gene of miR5290a, showed the opposite expressed trend compared with miR5290 from T1 to T3 libraries, and functional analysis of the PIRL gene shows that it has obvious resistance to B. cinerea in the strawberry fruits with overexpressed PIRL gene. We speculate that miR5290a negatively regulates its target gene PIRL to increase resistance to pathogen infection, and further analysis of PIRL function is meaningful for studying the plant-pathogen relationship and improving strawberry fruit quality and yield.

Differential expression of CCD4(4B) drives natural variation in fruit carotenoid content in strawberry (Fragaria spp.).

Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments imparting red, orange, and yellow hues to many horticultural plants, also enhancing their nutritional properties and health benefits. In strawberry, the genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating the natural variation of fruit carotenoid composition remain largely unexplored. In this study, we use a population segregating in yellow/white flesh to detect a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), qYellow Flesh-4B, located on chromosome 4B and accounting for 82% of total phenotypic variation.

Environmental conditions significantly influence the metabolic composition and quality attributes of fruits. This study investigated the impact of altitude-associated environmental variation on flavonoid profiles and fruit quality parameters by comparing the "Red Face" strawberry variety grown in two distinct locations: high-altitude-associated environmental conditions in Zhaotong and low-altitude conditions in Dandong. Using LC-MS/MS analysis, we identified 163 bioactive flavonoids, comprising 85 flavonols, 37 flavanones, 33 flavones, and 8 flavanonols.

This study investigates the synergistic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and melatonin (MT) on Fragaria × ananassa (strawberry) plants under drought stress, focusing on growth, fruit biomass, and stress tolerance. ZnO NPs enhance nutrient uptake and stress resistance, while MT regulates growth hormones and boosts photosynthetic efficiency. Seven treatments were evaluated: T1 (no stress, 0.

The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of spinosad as insecticide on bulb/dry onions, maize (fodder and grain), sweet corn, grapes (table and wine), lettuce, potato, aubergine, pepper and tomato.

Continuous cropping has emerged as a significant challenge affecting yield and quality in greenhouse strawberries, particularly as the cultivation of strawberries as a protected crop continues to increase. To address this issue, substrates with 0 or 2 years of continuous cropping were fertilized with two types of organic materials: vermicompost derived from either sludge or cattle manure. A control group consisted of substrate without the addition of vermicompost.
