“…Fruit length, which is an effective quality component in directing consumers' preferences in terms of marketability, is important in determining the fruit quality of strawberries [40,52]. In the study conducted by Ersoy [25] on strawberries, it was determined that the fruit length in organic agriculture was lower compared to conventional agriculture.…”

People often consume organic foods because they believe they are healthier and tastier foods. Agricultural products consumed by humans may contain harmful components such as chemical residues and heavy metals. The aim of this study is to compare the fruit quality parameters and heavy metal contents of strawberries grown in organic and conventional agriculture. Fruit, soil and water samples were taken from 10 organic and 10 conventional strawberry farms in the Hüyük district, located in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey, in 2019–2020. The fruit quality parameters of the obtained fruit samples were examined and it was determined whether there were significant differences in fruit, soil and water contents in terms of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd. According to the study findings, fruit quality parameters were found to be higher in organic strawberries. Additionally, it was determined that there was Zn and Cu accumulation in both organic and conventional strawberry fruits, but the heavy metal accumulation did not exceed the acceptable limit. According to these results, it can be said that the products grown in the region where organic strawberry cultivation is intense do not show pollution in terms of heavy metals.

“…Further study of fruit development genes in strawberry may also enable improvement of fruit production. Parthenocarpy may enable more consistent yields under variable conditions (Hu et al, 2023), and larger fruits tend to be easier to harvest and more desirable to consumers (Hortyński et al, 1991). Both auxin and gibberellic acid have been well established as major regulators of strawberry fruit development (Sharma and Singh, 2009;Liu et al, 2012;Kang et al, 2013;Feng et al, 2019;Fuentes et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2021) though morphological and environmental factors are also major contributors (Hortyński et al, 1991;Mackenzie et al, 2011;Menzel, 2019;.…”

Through domestication, the average strawberry fruit weight has increased from 1 to 3 g (Fragaria virginiana) to more than 20 g (Fragaria ×ananassa) (Chandler et al, 2012).…”

The cultivated strawberry, Fragaria ×ananassa, is a recently domesticated fruit species of economic interest worldwide. As such, there is significant interest in continuous varietal improvement. Genomics-assisted improvement, including the use of DNA markers and genomic selection have facilitated significant improvements of numerous key traits during strawberry breeding. CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome editing allows targeted mutations and precision nucleotide substitutions in the target genome, revolutionizing functional genomics and crop improvement. Genome editing is beginning to gain traction in the more challenging polyploid crops, including allo-octoploid strawberry. The release of high-quality reference genomes and comprehensive subgenome-specific genotyping and gene expression profiling data in octoploid strawberry will lead to a surge in trait discovery and modification by using CRISPR/Cas. Genome editing has already been successfully applied for modification of several strawberry genes, including anthocyanin content, fruit firmness and tolerance to post-harvest disease. However, reports on many other important breeding characteristics associated with fruit quality and production are still lacking, indicating a need for streamlined genome editing approaches and tools in Fragaria ×ananassa. In this review, we present an overview of the latest advancements in knowledge and breeding efforts involving CRISPR/Cas genome editing for the enhancement of strawberry varieties. Furthermore, we explore potential applications of this technology for improving other Rosaceous plant species.

“…However, it is possible to confirm the pollen activity prior to species crossing by examining the pollen germination rate on an artificial medium. The strawberry pollen germination rates on a solid medium containing 8% sucrose and 0.6% agar were evaluated (Hortynski and Zebrowska, 1991;Zebrowska, 1995). In addition, a liquid medium containing 10 or 20% sucrose (Aslantas and Piulak, 2002;Voyiatzsis and Paraskevopoulou-Paroussi, 2005) and 10-20% sucrose and 100-350 ppm boric acid were tested (Ariza et al, 2006).…”

Strawberries, the most economically well-known berry crop, are known for their taste, nutritional value, and antioxidant compounds. Various spatiotemporal or seasonal factors are known to affect the strawberry pollen germination rate; however, determinating which factor most influences the variation in the pollen germination rate remains challenging. This study aimed to determine the optimal pollen germination media and pollen short-term storage methods in the Japanese strawberry cultivars 'Shindai SUS-1' and 'Shindai BS8-9'. Each strawberry pollen was incubated for 3 h in the dark on a solid medium with 1.5% agar and different sucrose and boric acid concentrations. The pollen germination rate was then investigated. The optimal pollen germination medium for both cultivars was 1.5% agar, 10% sucrose, and 0.1% boric acid. The small amount of strawberry pollen used in this study was collected immediately after flowering in the morning. Therefore, we also investigated a method for collecting a large amount of pollen while maintaining pollen activity. For both cultivars, the pollen germination rate for dry pollen, incubated for 24 h with silica gel after the petals and calyx were removed, was the same as that of the fresh pollen collected immediately after flower collection. In addition, dry pollen was more efficient in terms of short-term storage than fresh pollen. For 'Shindai BS8-9', the germination rate for dry pollen was also higher than that of the fresh pollen when stored in vacuum at −25, 4, 15, 20, and 25°C for 3 and 7 days.
