Abstract:Strawberry production in Paraguay is carried out by small producers, using minimal technology and obtaining low productivity, with the need to expand strawberry genotypes and production techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate fruit quality of strawberry genotypes according to vernalization. A randomized block design with factorial arrangement 14x2 was performed; factors were genotypes and chilling using 15 plants per treatment and three replicates. Plants were kept in cold room at 5°C, with 8 hours o… Show more
“…It can be observed that low temperatures are more suitable for having more TA, as found in all cultivars planted on 5 April compared to those planted on 20 April. The same results were reported by Santacruz Oviedo et al (2018), who demonstrated that vernalisation of strawberry plants had no effect on berry shape or SSC, although it caused an increase in TA. Strawberry plants planted on 5 April had a higher chlorophyll content, which is represented as an indicator of leaf photosynthesis (Okatan et al, 2022).…”

Strawberry fruit quality traits can be affected by genotype-environment interactions, which determine the consumer acceptance of fruits. This factorial experiment was based on completely randomised blocks (RCBD) with two planting dates (5 and 20 April) and cultivars (‘Albion’, ‘San Andreas’ and ‘Portola’) of strawberry with three replications, and some of pomological and qualitative factors of berry were investigated at harvest. The results showed no significant difference on fruit width, length, weight and firmness, while the plant yield and stem diameter (SD) were affected by different cultivars and planting dates. The minimum SD (19.80) was recorded in cv. ‘Portola’ in the planting date of 20 April. Although the lowest fruit yield was achieved in cv. ‘Portola’ at both planting dates, it had the highest titratable acidity (TA) (0.83%) at the first planting date (5 April). The amount of soluble solid concentration (SSC), electrolyte conductivity (EC), pH, TA and chlorophyll were not affected by cultivar and planting dates. The effect of planting dates and cultivar had no significant effect on berry colour. The highest total phenolic (275.44 mg GAE · 100 mL-1 FW) was recorded in cv. ‘San Andreas’ on the planting date of 20 April, while the lowest value (251.22 mg GAE · 100 mL-1 FW) was recorded in cv. ‘Portola’ on the planting date of 5 April. In general, it is suggested that the least fruit yield in strawberry cv. ‘Portola’ can be correlated with the least SD of the cultivar.

“…Palatability is determined by the ratio of total soluble solids (reference index used to quantify the number of soluble sugars) (Scalisi & O'Connell 2021) and titratable acidity (TA). High values of this ratio, respond to higher percentages of total soluble solids (TSS) and lower TA, behaviour reported in species such as Fragaria × ananassa (Santacruz-Oviedo et al 2018) and Vaccinium spp. (Medeiros et al 2017) for which TSS/TA ratio values of up to 54.83 and 20.57, respectively, were reported.…”

“…It is worth mentioning that Jpd (J. tlaxcala), considered semi-domesticated and closely linked to the traditionally managed agro-ecosystem, is more appreciated for its more palatable fruits, because they are sweeter and almost never acidic, compared to the purple or black fruits of J. procumbens (Williams 1985). This characteristic is mainly due to the palatability of the fruit, where high palatability values are important in determining consumer acceptance of a product (Santacruz-Oviedo et al 2018). Palatability is determined by the ratio of total soluble solids (reference index used to quantify the number of soluble sugars) (Scalisi & O'Connell 2021) and titratable acidity (TA).…”
The taxonomic status of a specimen of the genus Jaltomata recovered from the Central Highland Valley of Mexico was realized. Phylogenetic analysis was performed via Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods complemented with Genealogical Concordance Phylogenetic Species Recognition (GCPSR) using the PHI test. The results indicated that the specimen in study belongs to the genus Jaltomata sp. nov. supported by PHI test (φ=1.0) showing no evidence of recombination. Characteristics of corolla, pedicel and calyx, stigma, anthers, fruit, and seeds, differentiated this species. Based on the results, the name Jaltomata tlaxcala is proposed for this new species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
