Polymorphism of the FaOMT and FaFADl genes for fruit flavor volatiles in strawberry varieties and wild species from the genetic collection of the Michurin Federal Research Center
Fruit aroma is an important consumer attribute of strawberry varieties.The key volatile compounds of the aromatic complex of strawberry fruit are mesifurane (fruity and caramel aromas) and y-decalactone (fruity, sweet, or peachy aroma).The mesifurane content in strawberry fruit is controlled by the FaOMT gene, which is mapped to the distal region o
