an autotetraploid linkage map of rose (rosa hybrida) validated using the strawberry (fragaria vesca) genome sequence.	polyploidy is a pivotal process in plant evolution as it increase gene redundancy and morphological intricacy but due to the complexity of polysomic inheritance we have only few genetic maps of autopolyploid organisms. a robust mapping framework is particularly important in polyploid crop species, rose included (2n = 4x = 28), where the objective is to study multiallelic interactions that control traits of value for plant breeding. from a cross between the garden, peach red and fragrant cultivar ...	2011	21647382
are flower-visiting ants mutualists or antagonists? a study in a gynodioecious wild strawberry.	ants are common flower visitors, but their effects on plant reproductive fitness have not often been assessed. flower-visiting ants were studied to determine whether they are antagonists or mutualists and whether they could influence floral or breeding system evolution in gynodioecious wild strawberry (fragaria virginiana). ant and flying pollinator (bees/flies) access to plants was manipulated, and visitation, fruit, and seed set were assessed. ants visited flowers of hermaphrodites more often ...	2005	21652471
is relative pollen production or removal a good predictor of relative male fitness? an experimental exploration with a wild strawberry (fragaria virginiana, rosaceae).	understanding plant reproduction requires knowledge of genetic contributions through pollen and seeds. since direct genetic assessments of fitness through pollen are often intractable, reproductive ecologists use components of male fitness such as pollen production and pollen removal as surrogates tot paternity. however, we know little of the strength of the relationship between these components and actual paternity. here, i report on a study undertaken to examine the relationship of pollen prod ...	1998	21685001
pseudomonas fluorescens f113 mutant with enhanced competitive colonization ability and improved biocontrol activity against fungal root pathogens.	motility is one of the most important traits for efficient rhizosphere colonization by pseudomonas fluorescens f113rif (f113). in this bacterium, motility is a polygenic trait that is repressed by at least three independent pathways, including the gac posttranscriptional system, the wsp chemotaxis-like pathway, and the sadb pathway. here we show that the kinb gene, which encodes a signal transduction protein that together with algb has been implicated in alginate production, participates in swim ...	2011	21685161
metabolic engineering in strawberry fruit uncovers a dormant biosynthetic pathway.	wild strawberry (fragaria vesca) fruit contains several important phenylpropene aroma compounds such as eugenol, but cultivated varieties are mostly devoid of them. we have redirected the carbon flux in cultivated strawberry (fragaria×ananassa) fruit from anthocyanin pigment biosynthesis to the production of acetates of hydroxycinnamyl alcohols, which serve as the precursors of the phenylpropenes, by downregulating the strawberry chalcone synthase (chs) via rnai-mediated gene silencing and, alte ...	2011	21689779
the tfl1 homologue ksn is a regulator of continuous flowering in rose and strawberry.	flowering is a key event in plant life, and is finely tuned by environmental and endogenous signals to adapt to different environments. in horticulture, continuous flowering (cf) is a popular trait introduced in a wide range of cultivated varieties. it played an essential role in the tremendous success of modern roses and woodland strawberries in gardens. cf genotypes flower during all favourable seasons, whereas once-flowering (of) genotypes only flower in spring. here we show that in rose and ...	2012	21895811
functional characterization of gynodioecy in fragaria vesca ssp. bracteata (rosaceae).	gynodioecy is a phylogenetically widespread and important sexual system where females coexist with hermaphrodites. because dioecy can arise from gynodioecy, characterization of gynodioecy in close relatives of dioecious and sub-dioecious species can provide insight into this transition. thus, we sought to determine whether fragaria vesca ssp. bracteata, a close relative to f. chiloensis and f. virginiana, exhibits the functional and population genetic hallmarks of a gynodioecious species.	2012	22052984

clarifying the identity of the main ellagitannin in the fruit of the strawberry, fragaria vesca and fragaria ananassa duch.	although the composition of strawberry fruit has been extensively studied, especially for the most abundant phenolic compounds, agrimoniin has never been univocally identified as one of the most abundant phenolic compounds in the fruit. in this study agrimoniin was isolated in the fruit of fragaria vesca and its structure characterized. furthermore, its presence was definitively established to be the main ellagitannin in both f. vesca and fragaria ananassa d. fruit. the presence of sanguiin h-6 ...	2012	22339338
metabolite profiling reveals novel multi-level cold responses in the diploid model fragaria vesca (woodland strawberry).	winter freezing damage is a crucial factor in overwintering crops such as the octoploid strawberry (fragaria × ananassa duch.) when grown in a perennial cultivation system. our study aimed at assessing metabolic processes and regulatory mechanisms in the close-related diploid model woodland strawberry (fragaria vescal.) during a 10-days cold acclimation experiment. based on gas chromatography/time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (gc/tof-ms) metabolite profiling of three f. vesca genotypes, clear dis ...	2012	22370221
construction of black (rubus occidentalis) and red (r. idaeus) raspberry linkage maps and their comparison to the genomes of strawberry, apple, and peach.	the genus rubus belongs to the rosaceae and is comprised of 600-800 species distributed world-wide. to date, genetic maps of the genus consist largely of non-transferable markers such as amplified fragment length polymorphisms. an f(1) population developed from a cross between an advanced breeding selection of rubus occidentalis (96395s1) and r. idaeus 'latham' was used to construct a new genetic map consisting of dna sequence-based markers. the genetic linkage maps presented here are constructe ...	2012	22398438
physical mapping of a pollen modifier locus controlling self-incompatibility in apricot and synteny analysis within the rosaceae.	s-locus products (s-rnase and f-box proteins) are essential for the gametophytic self-incompatibility (gsi) specific recognition in prunus. however, accumulated genetic evidence suggests that other s-locus unlinked factors are also required for gsi. for instance, gsi breakdown was associated with a pollen-part mutation unlinked to the s-locus in the apricot (prunus armeniaca l.) cv. 'canino'. fine-mapping of this mutated modifier gene (m-locus) and the synteny analysis of the m-locus within the ...	2012	22481163
