Strawberry (Fragaria spp) is an emerging model for the development of basic genomics and
recombinant DNA studies among rosaceous crops. Functional genomic and molecular …

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is one of the most popular methods for gene
expression studies. However, data on the usage of reference genes in strawberry are …

The increasing demand of strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duch) fruits is associated mainly
with their sensorial characteristics and the content of antioxidant compounds. Nevertheless …

Real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) has emerged as an accurate and widely
used technique for expression profiling of selected genes. However, obtaining reliable …

Background Strawberry has received much attention due to its nutritional value, unique
flavor, and attractive appearance. The availability of the whole genome sequence and …

Contemporary methods to assay gene expression depend on a stable set of reference
transcripts for accurate quantitation. A lack of well-tested reference genes slows progress in …

Understanding the nature of pathogen host interaction may help improve strawberry
(Fragaria× ananassa) cultivars. Plant resistance to pathogenic agents usually operates …

Cultivated strawberry is the most widely consumed fruit crop in the world, and therefore,
many breeding programs are underway to improve its agronomic traits such as fruit quality …

Fusarium wilt, a soil-borne disease caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.
sp. fragariae, threatens strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa) production worldwide. The spread …

Despite its value as a crop and potential utility as an experimental system, relatively little is
known about the molecular-genetic aspects of inheritance or physiology in the cultivated …
