Article Abstract

During the harvest season of two consecutive years, five strawberry cultivars ('Arosa', 'Elsanta', 'Marmolada', 'Miss' and 'Raurica'), grown in the continental part of the Republic of Croatia, were examined. Strawberry fruits quality was evaluated by individual phenol compounds, individual anthocyanins and fruit color. Fruits were harvested in three different periods. Analyzed strawberry cultivars show very good average values of the studied phenolic acids and flavonoids with predominant caffeic acid and epicatechin content in all researched strawberry cultivars. Considering the content of individual anthocyanins, pelargonidin 3-glucoside is predominant in strawberry extract followed by cyanidin-3-glucoside and pelargonidin 3-rutinoside. The correlation between individual anthocyanin content and chromaticity parameters was detected in all strawberry cultivars, additionally correlation coefficients and statistical significance were much lower. The results show a positive association between cultivar and harvest time on strawberry pulp color, with each of the color variables, a, b, a/b ratio, C, L and h° values.

Strawberries are primarily cultivated in the Central Region of Costa Rica due to the favorable growing conditions there. However, several factors can affect the final yield and quality of strawberries, including the presence of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN). Unfortunately, no surveys have been conducted in the country to identify the PPN affecting production.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of thermotherapy alone or combined with either shoot tip culture or in vitro micrografting treatments and shoot tip culture alone in eliminating olive leaf yellowing-associated virus (OLYaV) and strawberry latent ringspot virus (SLRSV) from naturally infected olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars to obtain virus-free stock plants. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to determine the efficiency of virus elimination in the in vitro regenerated plants at six months following the acclimation to ex vitro conditions.

Fusarium wilt is a major agricultural disease causing significant crop losses. In Taiwan, several Fusarium species have been reported to cause yellow leaf disease symptoms in orchids. This study identified five isolates of Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) isolates (pfy-1 to pfy-5) based on phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer of the nuclear rDNA, translation elongation factor 1-α, and sterol 14 α-demethylase genes.
