High impact information on Fragaria

• Sequence analysis of two peptide fragments showed total identity with the protein sequence of a strongly ripening-induced, auxin-dependent putative quinone oxidoreductase, Fragaria x ananassa quinone oxidoreductase (FaQR) [1].
• Expression of GalUR correlated with changing ascorbic acid content in strawberry fruit during ripening and with variations in ascorbic acid content in fruit of different species of the genus Fragaria [2].
• Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit accumulate (hydroxy)cinnamoyl glucose (Glc) esters, which may serve as the biogenetic precursors of diverse secondary metabolites, such as the flavor constituents methyl cinnamate and ethyl cinnamate [3].
• To assess whether ripening-regulated expansins are present in all ripening fruit, we examined expansin gene expression in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.). Strawberry differs significantly from tomato in that the fruit is derived from receptacle rather than ovary tissue and strawberry is non-climacteric [4].
• By using an anti-indole-acetic acid (anti-IAA) monoclonal antibody and an anti-auxin-binding protein 1 (anti-ABP1) polyclonal antibody, IAA and ABP1 were immunohistochemically localized in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) shoot apexes during floral induction [5].

Biological context of Fragaria

• The amino acid sequence of vinorine synthase has highest level of identity (28-31%) to that of Papaver salutaridinol acetyltransferase, Fragaria alcohol acyltransferase, and Catharanthus deacetylvindoline acetyltransferase involved in morphine, flavor, and vindoline biosynthesis, respectively [6].
• Molecular characterization of a stable antisense chalcone synthase phenotype in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) [7].
• We isolated a genomic DNA harboring a cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase gene (ApxSC) from a genomic library of the strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) [8].

Associations of Fragaria with chemical compounds

• Cloning and characterization of two ripening-related strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa cv. Chandler) pectate lyase genes [9].
• Strawberry fruits (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) undergo a marked softening during their ripening, and the process is accompanied by a release of free sugars with galactose among them [10].
• Cloning, expression and immunolocalization pattern of a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase gene from strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa cv. Chandler) [11].
• Two-phase flavonoid formation in developing strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit [12].
• Dimeric anthocyanins from strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) consisting of pelargonidin 3-glucoside covalently linked to four flavan-3-ols [13].

Gene context of Fragaria

• Inhibitory effect on activator protein-1, nuclear factor-kappaB, and cell transformation by extracts of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) [14].
• The influence of agricultural practices (fertilization, mulch color, early forcing, and planting date), environment (light and growing area), cultivar, and fruit order on the selected phenolic content and antioxidant activity in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) fruits was studied [15].
• Isolation of cytochrome P450 inhibitors from strawberry fruit, Fragaria ananassa [16].
• The feeding experiments indicate that (S)-linalool and trans-(S)-nerolidol in Fragaria x ananassa Duch. and (-)-alpha-pinene in F. vesca are exclusively synthesized via the cytosolic mevalonic acid pathway without any contribution from the plastidial 1-deoxy-D-xylulose/2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (DOXP/MEP) route [17].
• Isolation of genomic DNA containing a cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase gene (ApxSC) from the strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Fragaria

• An anthocyanin, 1, with the novel 4-substituted aglycone, 5-carboxypyranopelargonidin, was isolated in small amounts from the acidified, methanolic extract of strawberries, Fragaria ananassa Duch., by preparative HPLC after purification by partition against ethyl acetate, Amberlite XAD-7 and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography [18].
