Ecological strawberry production: promoting crop vitality with high-dynamized dilutions

The Strawberry (Fragaria× ananassaDuch.) is the world’s most important berry. Around 9.2 million tonnes of strawberries were produced worldwide in 2021 over approximately 395,844 hectares distributed across almost all continents. However, industrial farming approaches, which include the app...

Análise microbiológica de morangos frescos comercializados em Goiânia, Goiás
Microbiological analysis of fresh strawberries comercialized in Goiânia, Goiás

Rev. bras. anal. clin; 53 (3), 2021
Objetivo: O consumo de alimentos contaminados por microrganismos patogênicos pode levar a quadros de doenças transmitidas por alimentos. O presente estudo objetivou realizar uma análise microbiológica de morangos frescos (Fragaria vesca) comercializados em Goiânia, Goiás, pesquisando a presença de...

Cloning and Characterization of 5-enopy ruvylshikimate-3-phosphate Synthase from Fragaria vesca

Abstract To discover and isolate a glyphosate-resistant gene from Fragaria vesca through gene mining. An open reading frame (ORF) of 1563 bp encoding EPSPSwas amplified from Fragaria vesca (FvEPSPS). FvEPSPS (Genebank: XP004306932.1) encodes a polypeptide of 520 amino acids and it has hightly homologous ...

Micorrhizal biotechnology as an alternative to potentialize the strawberry quality

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (5), 2020
The need to develop and use biotechnology tools to improve management and nutritional techniques in strawberry cultivation are increasing. Based on this, the objective of this study was to test if the mycorrhizal inoculation changes the agronomic and qualitative performance of strawberry fruits. The stra...

Infestation index of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in small fruit in southern Brazil

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
The spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is considered the main insect pest of small fruit in the world. Identifying susceptible hosts is essential to develop management strategies. The aim of this study was to verify the level of D. suzukii infestation in blackberry, blueberry, strawbe...

Pollination service of Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees in strawberry

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
Strawberry presents moderate dependence on bee pollination service, and pollination is related to the production and quality of fruits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pollination service provided by Nannotrigona testaceicornis stingless bees in strawberry. Primary flowers of cultivar San Andre...

Potential of endophytic fungi as biocontrol agents of Duponchelia fovealis (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Braz. j. biol; 78 (3), 2018
Abstract This study reports the first assessment of endophytic fungi isolated from strawberry leaves and selection of isolates for the control of Duponchelia fovealis, a new pest of strawberries. A total of 400 strawberry leaves of the cultivar 'Albion' were collected in four commercial farms. Leaves wer...

Linking the platelet antiaggregation effect of different strawberries species with antioxidants: metabolomic and transcript profiling of polyphenols

A comparative study of antioxidant properties, platelet antiaggregation activity and transcriptional analysis of flavonoid biosynthesis genes were performed in Fragaria x ananassa, F. vesca and F. chiloensis subsp chiloensis f. chiloensis and f. patagonica. Furthermore, differences in flavonoid content w...

Measurement of expansin activity and plant cell wall creep by using a commercial texture analyzer

Background: Expansins play an important role in cell wall metabolism and fruit softening. Determination of expansin activity is a challenging problem since it depends on measuring cell wall properties by using ad hoc extensometers, a fact that has strongly restricted its study. Then, the objective of the...

Meristem culture and subsequent micropropagation of Chilean strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis (L) Duch. )

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: Vegetative propagation of Fragaria sp. is traditionally carried out using stolons. This system of propagation, in addition to being slow, can spread plant diseases, particularly serious being viral. In vitro culture of meristems and the establishment of micropropagation protocols are importan...
