Foliar nematodes represent a minor feeding group within the genus Fischer, 1894. The facultative plant parasitic species can cause crinkling of leaves, reduced vigor, and stunting of agricultural and ornamental plants. Here we report the first finding of in leaves, crowns, and roots of strawberry plants collected in Switzerland in 2018. Species identification was confirmed by morphological and morphometric characterization supported by molecular barcoding of 18S ribosomal RNA (18S), 28S ribosomal RNA (28S), and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene fragment analyses. Phylogenetic analysis of 18S indicated that was grouped within close distance to , a well-known foliar nematode affecting strawberry plants. Furthermore, the newly generated molecular barcodes of the partial 28S and COI of will support species identification in the future.

Strawberry fruits are highly perishable and have a limited shelf life. Therefore, effective methods such as essential oils (EOs) and edible coatings are required to mitigate spoilage and maintain fruit quality during storage. In the current study, Echinophora platyloba EO was extracted and subsequently formulated into a nanoemulsion.

Protein S-acyl transferases (PATs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze protein S-acylation, a post-translational lipid modification involved in protein membrane targeting, trafficking, stability, and protein-protein interaction. S-acylation plays important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Here, we report the genome-wide analysis of the family genes in the woodland strawberry (), a model plant for studying the economically important Rosaceae family.

Strawberries are valued globally for their nutritional, aesthetic, and economic benefits. Optimizing blue-to-red LED ratios and nitrogen levels is essential for sustainable indoor strawberry cultivation. This factorial study investigated the effects of blue and red LED combination ratios (L1; 1:3, L2; 1:4, and L3; 1:6) and nitrogen levels (N1; 100 and N2; 200 mg/L) on the physiology and performance of strawberries in a plant factory.

Background: Strawberry (Fragaria × annanasa Duch.) is an important economic fruit worldwide, whose growth and development are often hindered by water deficiency. 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a natural plant growth regulator, has been suggested to mitigate the osmotic damages by promoting root water absorption, osmotic adjustment, photosynthetic capacity, and antioxidant improvement.
