“…A positive correlation between titratable acidity and air temperature was previously reported by Agüero et al [ 22 ] for strawberries grown under subtropical conditions, and a similar effect of temperature on acidity was also reported by Kannaujia and Asrey [ 23 ], whose study showed that the titratable acidity decreased as the temperature decreased, which was attributed to the lower accumulation and slower depletion of organic acids with respiration. In contrast, other studies indicated that organic acid content either was stable throughout the harvest season [ 43 ] or decreased at higher temperatures [ 20 ], which suggests that the effect of temperature on the contents of organic acids is also probably dependent on the cultivar.…”

“…However, we did not find any correlation between firmness and environmental factors, which contradicts previous findings [ 12 , 16 , 39 ] that indicated that high temperatures had a negative impact on fruit firmness. However, firmness can also be influenced by other factors, such as the activity of degrading enzymes and cell wall composition [ 23 , 39 ].…”

Strawberries are appreciated by consumers for their characteristic taste and health benefits, which enhance their demand throughout the year. Everbearing strawberries can produce fruits for a longer period and could thus meet this demand, but the fruit quality depends on environmental factors and the cultivar. This study focused on the effect of environmental conditions on the physical attributes and the composition of everbearing Capri cultivar fruit harvested from the end of June to the end of October. A positive correlation was observed between temperature and organic acid content (r = 0.87), and a positive correlation was observed between sunshine duration, anthocyanin (r = 0.87) and phenolic compound contents (r = 0.89). Additionally, the composition of sugars was affected by the environmental conditions. While strawberries harvested towards the end of October, when lower temperatures predominated, were larger in size and had a higher sugar/acid ratio, fruit harvested in the middle of August, when there were longer periods of sunshine, had higher anthocyanin and phenolic compound contents. In conclusion, strawberries with higher sugar/acid ratios are obtained when temperatures are lower, while strawberries exposed to longer periods of sunshine are richer in health-promoting compounds.

“…It ranked first within berry crops with a worldwide fruit yield of 4.1 million tons per year (Bestfleisch et al., 2015). Strawberry is known for its tantalizing taste, soothing fragrance, high nutritional value and quick return to growers (Kannaujia & Asrey, 2021). Strawberry fruits have a short shelf life and are very sensitive during post‐harvest storage, due to their susceptibility to mechanical injury, excessive texture softening, physiological disorders and infection caused by several pathogens which can rapidly reduce the quality of fruit and make marketing a challenge (Lu et al., 2023).…”

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is one of the most important fruit crops, worldwide. In June 2023, strawberry fruits with pink mould symptoms were collected from a storage facility in Khorasan Razavi province of Iran. Trichothecium roseum was isolated from symptomatic fruit and identified through morphological characteristics. Molecular identification was carried out based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) using ITS1 and ITS4 primers. Pathogenicity was confirmed according to Koch's postulates. Cell wall–degrading enzyme secretion was investigated as a potential factor in fungal pathogenicity. The results of morphological identification, ITS analysis and pathogenicity test indicated that the causal agent was T. roseum. Enzyme activity assays revealed that T. roseum obtained from strawberry with a high level of aggressiveness was able to secrete cellulase and pectinase. To our knowledge, this is the first report of post‐harvest pink mould of strawberry caused by T. roseum in Iran.

“…has also been important as a typical model for studies of non-climacteric fruit development and ripening, due to its short vegetative stage and ease of propagation and production. In China, although strawberry fruit can be harvested from November to May of the following year, the fruit harvested in spring (March and April) confers lower economic value traits, including lower firmness, a higher rate of decay, and physiological loss of weight during post-harvest storage, than the fruit harvested in the winter season (November to February) [ 1 ]. This is due to the comparatively higher temperature and light intensity in spring, which can further hasten strawberry ripening, and thus, bring poor fruit quality and flavor [ 2 , 3 ].…”

Proanthocyanidins (PAs), also known as condensed tannins, are widespread throughout the plant kingdom, presenting diverse biological and biochemical activities. 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 (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.), a worldwide demanded edible fruit and typical material for studying non-climacteric fruit ripening, were firstly assessed in this work. The results showed that exogenous PAs delayed the decrease in fruit firmness and anthocyanins accumulation but improved the fruit skin brightness. Strawberries treated with PAs had similar total soluble solids, total phenolics, and total flavonoids, but lower titratable acidity content. Moreover, the contents of endogenous PAs, abscisic acid and sucrose, were somehow increased by PA treatment, while no obvious change was found in fructose and glucose content. In addition, the anthocyanin- and firmness-related genes were significantly repressed, while the PA biosynthetic gene (anthocyanin reductase, ANR) was highly up-regulated by PA treatment at the key point for fruit softening and coloring. In summary, the results presented in this study suggest that PAs slow down strawberry coloration and softening by inhibiting the expression of related genes, which could be helpful for a better understanding of the biological role of PAs and provide a new strategy to regulate strawberry ripening.
