strawberry
Fragaria × ananassa
Fragaria × ananassa, commonly known as the cultivated strawberry, does not have any traditional medicinal uses recorded. Scientific studies focusing on this plant have primarily explored its physiological responses to environmental stresses and the effects of various treatments during ripening. Research indicates that combined melatonin and titanium dioxide nanoparticle treatments can improve stress tolerance in strawberries by reducing electrolyte leakage. Additionally, studies have identified differences in volatile organic compound (VOL) profiles across different ripening stages and berry tissues within the Rosaceae family, including strawberries. Two cultivars, 'Kara' and 'E22', showed varying responses to osmotic stress, with 'Kara' demonstrating better physiological stability. Preharvest treatment with Bacillus velezensis HIII11 was found to modulate cell wall dynamics and ripening-related processes without significantly altering sugar content. Safety concerns for cultivated strawberries are minimal; no major issues have been recorded. There is also no evidence of significant drug interactions associated with this plant.

What the science says
- Combined melatonin and titanium dioxide nanoparticle treatments reduced salt stress-induced electrolyte leakage and improved biochemical traits in strawberries.
- The study identified varying GLV profiles across different ripening stages and berry tissues in strawberries and other Rosaceae fruits.
- The study found that two strawberry cultivars, 'Kara' and 'E22', responded differently to osmotic stress, with 'Kara' maintaining better physiological parameters and a more restrained transcriptomic response.
- Preharvest treatment with Bacillus velezensis HIII11 modulated cell wall dynamics and ripening-related processes in strawberries without significant changes to sugar content.
- Chitosan and Aloe vera gel combination coating most effectively reduced weight loss, preserved firmness, and lowered microbial growth in strawberries stored under ambient conditions.
- The study identified 827 NLR-encoding genes in cultivated strawberry, including 94 with a novel mixed CNL-TNL architecture.
