Important crop plants of Rosaceae family are often damaged during winter due to the lack of acclimation and cold hardiness. One of the cellular responses of plants to cold stress is the accumulation of dehydrin proteins. We studied the expression of dehydrins in several Rosaceae species during low

Plants have several L-ascorbic acid (AsA) biosynthetic pathways, but the contribution of each one to the synthesis of AsA varyies between different species, organs, and developmental stages. Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa) fruits are rich in AsA. The pathway that uses D-galacturonate as the initial

Abiotic and biotic stress situations cause the upregulation of the transcription of a number of plant defence genes. They code for so-called pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins such as PR proteins of class-10 (PR-10), whose biological functions are still unclear. PR10 proteins are members of the Bet

In a 1998 virus survey (2) conducted on 23 commercial strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) production farms in the state of Maryland, leaf samples from 1,100 randomly sampled plants were sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture laboratory in Corvallis, OR, for testing by enzyme-linked
