Phytophthora crown rot (PhCR) is an important disease of strawberry worldwide. is the most common causal agent, however, was also recently reported causing PhCR in the U.S. Therefore, the goals of this study were to evaluate the resistance of strawberry cultivars from Florida and California, and to study the etiology of the two species causing PhCR. Sixteen strawberry cultivars were evaluated over three Florida seasons for susceptibility to , and . Inoculations at different days after transplanting (DAT) were also carried out to evaluate the ability of both species to cause PhCR at different phenological stages of the plant. Plant wilting and mortality were assessed weekly, and disease incidence, and the area under the disease progress curve were calculated. Cultivars Sensation 'Florida127', 'Winterstar FL 05-107', and 'Florida Radiance' were susceptible, whereas 'Florida Elyana', 'Camarosa', 'Fronteras', 'Sweet Charlie', and 'Strawberry Festival' were highly resistant to both species. However, some cultivars exhibited stronger resistance to one species over the other. caused more PhCR when plants were inoculated at transplanting, 45, and 60 DAT, whereas only caused disease when inoculated at transplanting. These results emphasize the importance of screening for disease resistance to guide management recommendations in commercial strawberry production as well as the need for proper pathogen identification since cultivar susceptibility might differ. Varying susceptibility to and at different growth stages emphasizes the importance of considering both plant and pathogen biology when making management recommendations.

Strawberries are a widely cultivated greenhouse crop in China, primarily pollinated by honeybees, in accordance with traditional planting practices and local conditions. Extensive research has demonstrated that cross-pollination benefits numerous strawberry cultivars, leading to enhanced yield through the interplanting of different cultivars. However, the high costs associated with cultivation have hindered systematic research on the design of interplanting strategies.

Three new triterpene glycosides were isolated from x "Strawberry Fields" cultivar via aqueous-ethanolic extraction of the roots, including one derivative of sumaresinolic acid and two of echinocystic acid: 3--β-D-glucuronopyranosylsumaresinolic acid 28--β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester, 3--β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid 28--β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester, and 3--α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucuronopyranosylechinocystic acid 28-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl ester. As none of the isolated saponins were previously documented in the literature, their structural elucidation required extensive 1D and homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry analysis. All three glycosides were tested for their stimulatory activity of the sweet taste receptor TAS1R2/TAS1R3.

Charcoal rot, caused by the soilborne fungus , is one of the most economically important diseases affecting strawberry ( ×) production in California. Previous studies on non-strawberry hosts have shown that proper soil moisture management can limit pathogen colonization of plants and decrease disease severity. We performed field and greenhouse studies for two seasons with the objective of investigating the role of soil moisture in disease development and management of charcoal rot of strawberries.

- Blueberries have a variety of anthocyanins that give them their blue color, and some types can produce more stable acylated anthocyanins, making them a focus for breeding.
- This study focused on a specific gene, VcAAT1a, which was found to effectively produce different acylated anthocyanins in various plant systems.
- The research identified that VcAAT1a only uses acetyl CoA as an acyl donor, and its promoter is activated by certain transcription factors, providing insight into how anthocyanin production is regulated in blueberries.
