Intraspecific genetic incompatibilities prevent the assembly of specific alleles into single
genotypes and influence genome- and species-wide patterns of sequence variation. A common …

The fruits of diploid and octoploid strawberry (Fragaria spp) show substantial natural variation
in color due to distinct anthocyanin accumulation and distribution patterns. Anthocyanin …

In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes
controlling the ripening of strawberry, a nonclimacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription …

The B-class of MADS-box transcription factors has been studied in many plant species, but
remains functionally uncharacterized in Rosaceae. APETALA3 (AP3), a member of this class, …

Fruit ripening involves numerous physiological, structural, and metabolic changes that result
in the formation of edible fruits. This process is controlled at different molecular levels, with …

Fruit ripening is a highly regulated and complex process involving a series of physiological
and biochemical changes aiming to maximize fruit organoleptic traits to attract herbivores, …

The ubiquity of nonparental hybrid phenotypes, such as hybrid vigor and hybrid inferiority,
has interested biologists for over a century and is of considerable agricultural importance. …

The NAC transcription factor ripening inducing factor (RIF) was previously reported to be
necessary for the ripening of octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) fruit, but the …

Over the last few years, a series of tools for genome editing have been developed, allowing
the introduction of precise changes into plant genomes. These have included Zinc-finger …

… This analysis showed that three of the clusters (C, E1, and E2) mostly corresponded to
the four geographical groups that were distinguished by PCA. Thus, most Icelandic samples …
