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...
