Abstract

The paper presents the results of a long-term (2015-2020) study into a collection of domestic and foreign strawberry varieties cultivated in the Central Black Region, in terms of biochemical composition (content of soluble solids (SS), sugars, organic acids, ascorbic acid, anthocyanins) and genetic aroma determinants. The varieties with a high SS content (above 12.0%) herewith include Alena, Divnaya, Kupchikha, Olympic hope, Torpedo, Flora; sugars (above 9.0%) – Alena, Lastochka, Olimpiyskaya Nadezhda, Flora, Privlekatelnaya; ascorbic acid (above 80.0 mg/100 g) – Divnaya, Kupchikha, Sudarushka, Festival chamomile; anthocyanins (above 100.0 mg/100 g) – Alena, Fireworks. Among the varieties addressesd, the Kubata, Tsaritsa (domestic selection), Kimberly, Marshall, Red Gauntlet, Vima Tarda (foreign selection) varieties are characterized by a combination of functional alleles of FaOMT and FaFAD1 genes for a complex aroma profile. The selected promising varieties can be used as sources of valuable quality attributes and biochemical composition of fruits.
