  • Sex-Allocation Plasticity in Hermaphrodites of Sexually Dimorphic Fragaria Virginiana (Rosaceae)
    231 Sex-allocation plasticity in hermaphrodites of sexually dimorphic Fragaria virginiana (Rosaceae) Eric J. Bishop, Rachel B. Spigler, and Tia-Lynn Ashman Abstract: Sex-allocation plasticity is thought to play an important role in the evolution of separate sexes in plants. Ac- cordingly, much attention has been paid to environmentally induced variation in fruit and seed production in sexually di- morphic species, but we know little about whether this variation arises as a direct response to environmental variation or is instead an indirect consequence of changes in plant size. In this study, we characterize sex-allocation plasticity across a resource gradient for several reproductive traits in hermaphrodites of gyno(sub)dioecious Fragaria virginiana Duch. We find significant plasticity, on average, for flower number, proportion fruit set, ovule number, proportion seed set, and run- ner number in response to resource variation. Plasticity of most traits examined tended to be at least partially independent of variation in plant size, suggesting that it is not simply an indirect consequence of plant allometry. Moreover, we find genetic variation for plasticity of key reproductive traits. Comparisons of relative plasticities among traits reveal that F. virginiana hermaphrodites are more likely to adjust female investment via changes in fruit and seed set than ovule num- ber, and most likely to adjust male investment via flower number rather than anther number or pollen per anther, although there is genotypic variation for plasticity in pollen per anther. Evidence of within-population variation can logically be ex- tended to suggest that variation in hermaphrodite sex-expression seen among natural populations of F.

  • Snow White´ TM (Hansawhit(S) - a New Strawberry Cultivar with White Fruits
    `Snow White´ TM (hansawhit(S) - a new strawberry cultivar with white fruits Introduction The cultivation history of white-fruited strawberries is much older than that of red cultivars of Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. Fragaria chiloensis f. chiloensis (L.) Miller with white or pale pink fruits is cultivated for hundreds of years in Chile and Peru and was introduced to Europe in 1714. It became an ancestor of the cultivated Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. together with Fragaria virginiana Miller from North America which had been cultivated in Europe since 1623. White cultivars were always interesting for cultivation. The cultivar Fragaria ×ananassa `Weisse Ananas´, bred in 1867, survived in house gardens and germplasm collections due to its fruit colour and its fresh-fruity taste. Meanwhile, white cultivars are attractive for European strawberry production as a niche product, in particular, for the gourmet fruit sector. 1 cm 1 cm 1 cm 1 cm Traditional Chilean cultivation of Vulcano Villarica (2.840 m) Fragaria chiloensis f. patagonica Staudt Accession from nature near a settlement `Lucida perfecta´ 1861 `Weisse Ananas´ 1867 Fragaria chiloensis f. chiloensis accession from the vulcano Villarica, close to the vulcano Villarica: escape or Foto: Jorge Retamales found at 1.200 m above sea level leftover from cultivation. 1cm `Snow White´ was selected as seedling in 2010 out from a population of Fragaria ×ananassa `Weisse Ananas´ × clone numbers which arose from Chilean land- races of Fragaria chiloensis f. chiloensis. `Snow White´ is a white-fruited strawberry and currently under application for European Plant Breeders´ Rights 2013 under the registration number 2013/1478. `Snow White´ is winter hardy, more vigorous than the old white-fruited cultivar `Weisse Ananas´, highly tolerant to powdery mildew and other leaf diseases as well as tolerant to Verticillium wilt, Phytophthora crown rot, Xanthomonas and Botrytis.

The strawberry genus (Fragaria) contains considerably few species but only on grows in Iceland, the F. vesca. The plant is the most widespread of all strawberry species recently gone through whole genome sequencing. The aim of this research was to assess the morphology of the Icelandic strawberry population by collecting plants that could represent the whole population, make them acclimate in a controlled environment and measure their descriptive characteristics along with other types and cultivar for comparison. The second aim was to sequence genome barcodes from chloroplast DNA and nuclear DNA. The results were used to construct a phylogenetic tree using the Neighbor-Joining method. The results indicate some level of biodiversity within the Icelandic population both morphologically and genetically. The morphology assessment separates the Icelandic populations in two subpopulations and the genetic results to not reject that conclusion.

  • Pineberry: a Reintroduced Strawberry
    Missouri February 2015 Volume 21, Number 2 Pineberry: A Reintroduced Strawberry White-fruited strawberries of Fragaria chiloensis (Chilean strawberry) have been traced back to Chile where the native peoples, the Picunche and the Mapuche, cultivated them more than 1000 years ago. Although uncommon, native white strawberries can still be found in southern Chile today. Although early explorers documented these strawberries, they were not introduced into Europe until 1712 when Lt. Colonel Amedee Frézier brought F. chiloensis plants to France. Thereafter, the Chilean strawberry was naturally pollinated by Fragaria virginiana (red-fruited type known as scarlets). More recently, Hans De Jongh, a grower in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands obtained a diseased pineberry plant from a strawberry plant collector in France, who believed it was from the original cross from the 18th century. After selecting plants over a six year period, De Johgh released his pineberry Photo credit: Chad Finn cultivar in 2009. For those who like novelty plants, pineberry (Fragaria chiloensis Pineberries should not be confused with the albino fruit x virginiana) is a hybrid strawberry that produces small, white, disorder of commonly-grown red-fruited strawberries.

  • Identification of Volatile Compounds Associated with the Aroma of White
    Research Article Received: 11 December 2012 Revised: 12 September 2013 Accepted article published: 20 September 2013 Published online in Wiley Online Library: 21 October 2013 (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI 10.1002/jsfa.6412 Identification of volatile compounds associated with the aroma of white strawberries (Fragaria chiloensis) Loreto Prat,a Mar´ıa Ines´ Espinoza,b Eduardo Agosinb,c and Herman Silvaa∗ Abstract BACKGROUND: Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Mill spp. chiloensis form chiloensis, is a strawberry that produces white fruits with unique aromas. This species, endemic to Chile, is one of the progenitors of Fragaria x ananassa Duch. In order to identify the volatile compounds that might be responsible for aroma, these were extracted, and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC-O) and compared with sensory analyses. RESULTS: Three methods of extraction were used: solvent-assisted evaporation (SAFE), headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and liquid–liquid extraction (LLE). Ninety-nine volatile compounds were identified by GC-MS, of which 75 showed odor activity using GC-O. Based on the highest dilution factor (FD = 1000) and GC-O intensity ≥2, we determined 20 major compounds in white strawberry fruit that contribute to its aroma. We chose 51 compounds to be tested against their commercial standards. The identities were confirmed by comparison of their linear retention indices against the commercial standards. The aroma of white strawberry fruits was reconstituted with a synthetic mixture of most of these compounds. CONCLUSION: The volatile profile of white strawberry fruit described as fruity, green–fresh, floral, caramel, sweet, nutty and woody will be a useful reference for future strawberry breeding programs.
