Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) reproduces sexually through seeds and asexually through stolons. The ability to cost-effectively clonally propagate hybrid individuals on a large scale has shaped strawberry breeding and production practices. Despite the technical and economic importance of clonal propagation, little is known about the genetic regulation of runnering in strawberry, apart from the pleiotropic effects of PERPETUAL FLOWERING (PF), a dominant gene introgressed from a wild relative that abolishes temperature-dependent photoperiod sensitivity and incompletely and variably suppresses runnering.

Background: Objective biomarkers of diet, such as metabolomics, may improve dietary assessment and provide additional insight into how diet influences disease risk. The portfolio diet, a cholesterol-lowering plant-based diet, is recommended for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). This diet is low in saturated fat and includes nuts, plant protein (legumes), viscous fiber, and phytosterols.

Strawberry grading by picking robots can eliminate the manual classification, reducing labor costs and minimizing the damage to the fruit. Strawberry size or weight is a key factor in grading, with accurate weight estimation being crucial for proper classification. In this paper, we collected 1521 sets of strawberry RGB-D images using a depth camera and manually measured the weight and size of the strawberries to construct a training dataset for the strawberry weight regression model.

Organic agriculture is expanding worldwide, driven by expectations of improving food quality and soil health. However, while organic certification by regulatory bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture and the European Union confirms compliance with organic standards that prohibit synthetic chemical inputs, there is limited oversight to verify that organic practices, such as the use of authentic organic fertilizer sources, are consistently applied at the field level. This study investigated the elemental content of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and their stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) in seven different crops grown under organic or conventional practices to assess their applicability as a screening tool to verify the authenticity of organic labeled produce.
