Fruits of Fragaria species usually have an appealing bright red color due to the
accumulation of anthocyanins, water-soluble flavonoid pigments. Octoploid cultivated …

The cultivated strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) is an allo-octoploid species, originating
nearly 300 years ago from wild progenitors from the Americas. Since that time the strawberry …

The red color of the foliage and fruit in strawberry comes from anthocyanins stored in the
vacuole; however, how this anthocyanin accumulation is regulated remains unclear. A …

Anthocyanin accumulation is transcriptionally regulated by the MYB–bHLH–WD40 complex.
Light is indispensable for anthocyanin accumulation, and light-inducible MYB and HY5 were …

Fruit colour affects consumer preference and is an important trait for breeding in strawberry.
Previously, we isolated the Reduced Anthocyanins in Petioles (RAP) gene encoding a …

Octoploid strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duch.) is a model plant for research and one of
the most important non‐climacteric fruit crops throughout the world. The associations …

Tanshinones and phenolic acids are crucial bioactive compounds biosynthesized in Salvia
miltiorrhiza. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an effective elicitor to enhance the production of …

Food fortification through the increase and/or modulation of bioactive compounds has
become a major goal for preventing several diseases, including cancer. Here, strawberry …

The biosynthetic pathway of volatile phenylpropanoids, including 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol
(eugenol), has been investigated in petunia (Petunia hybrida). However, the regulatory …

In this work, we identified and functionally characterized the strawberry (Fragaria×
ananassa) R2R3 MYB transcription factor FaMYB123. As in most genes associated with …
