Abstract

Research on widening genetic variation in strawberry around the world is focused mainly on improving external and internal fruit quality. The aim of the research undertaken at the Research Institute of Horticulture was to determine the possibility of increasing the content of bioactive compounds (polyphenols, anthocyanins and organic acids) in strawberry by conventional breeding. Based on a two-year phenotypic evaluation, 90 valuable genotypes were selected from 6097 hybrids obtained as a result of intra- and interspecific hybridization within the Fragaria genus. In 2019, these genotypes were assessed in terms of fruit yield, weight, attractiveness and firmness, as well as the content of the extract, phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and ascorbic acid in the fruit.
We found that the largest, most attractive and firmest fruits were produced by clones T-201536-16 and T-201536-08 (‘Clery’ × ‘Grandarosa’), T-201514-04 and T-201514-05 (‘Candiss’ × ‘Panvik’) and T-201560-07 (‘Onda’ × ‘Panvik’). The highest extract content was noted in the fruits of genotypes T-201536-16 and T-201536-09 (‘Clery’ × ‘Grandarosa’). The greatest number of phenolic compounds were encountered in the fruits of clones T-201501-02 (‘Alba’ × ‘Grandarosa’), T-201512-04 (‘Camarosa’ × ‘Panvik’) and T-201567-01 (‘Patty’ × ‘Panvik’), while the highest anthocyanin levels were evident in the fruit of clones T-201514-08 (‘Candiss’ × ‘Panvik’), T-201508-01 (‘Alice’ × ‘Matis’), T-201517-05 (‘Chandler’ × ‘Matis’) and T-201580-01 (Fragaria chiloensis Del Norte × ‘Elsanta’). Moreover, the richest levels of ascorbic acid were in the fruits of clones T-201526-05 (‘Cigaline’ × ‘Grandarosa’), T-201501-03 (‘Alba’ × ‘Grandarosa’), T-201536-15 (‘Clery’ × ‘Grandarosa’) and T-201567-01 (‘Patty’ × ‘Panvik’). Finally, the highest total content of all analyzed bioactive compounds in fruits was noted for clones T-201514-08 (‘Candiss’ × ‘Panvik’), T-201517-05 (‘Chandler’ × ‘Matis’) and T-201567-04 (‘Patty’ × ‘Panvik’).
