Sensory sacrifices when we mass-produce mass produce.
Kevin M. Folta,Harry J. Klee +1 more
TL;DR: This review analyzes the approach of consumer-assisted selection as it has been applied to tomato and strawberry, two complementary annual crops that have been intensively bred to meet industry expectations.
Tracing the Diploid Ancestry of the Cultivated Octoploid Strawberry
TL;DR: A fully resolved, dated phylogeny of Fragaria is generated and it is determined that the genus arose ∼6.37 Ma, effectively resolving conflicting hypotheses regarding the putative diploid progenitors of the cultivated strawberry, establish a reliable backbone phylogeny for the genus, and provide genetic resources for molecular breeding.
The Arabidopsis NPR1 gene confers broad-spectrum disease resistance in strawberry.
Katchen Julliany Pereira Silva,Asha M. Brunings,Natalia A. Peres,Zhonglin Mou,Kevin M. Folta +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ectopic expression of AtNPR1 in strawberry increases resistance to anthracnose, powdery mildew, and angular leaf spot, which are caused by different fungal or bacterial pathogens.

Green Light Adjusts the Plastid Transcriptome during Early Photomorphogenic Development
TL;DR: Together, the down-regulation of plastid transcripts and increase in stem growth rate represent a mechanism that tempers progression of early commitment to the light environment, helping tailor seedling development during the critical process of establishment.

Opposing roles of phytochrome A and phytochrome B in early cryptochrome-mediated growth inhibition
Kevin M. Folta,Edgar P. Spalding +1 more
TL;DR: It appears that phyB opposes the cry1/phyA-mediated inhibition by promoting growth during at least the first 120 min of blue light treatment, consistent with the emerging view that the prevailing growth rate of a stem is a compromise between light-dependent inhibitory and promotive influences.
