This study was investigated to establish a regeneration system of plant via adventitious bud formation from leaf explant cultures of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch). Effects of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, BAP), agar sucrose and myo-inositol on adventitious bud formation were investigated. When the leaf explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 3 mg/L BAP, the adventitious bud formation was most promoted. The adventitious bud formation was not induced from leaf explants cultured on MS medium containing 2,4-D alone. Adventitious bud formation was enhanced to almost 3 times on medium with low level of agar concentration (0.4%) in comparison with those on the medium with high level of agar (1%), but almost of shoot was vitrificated on the medium. Therefore, the normal adventitious bud formation from leaf explants was most effective on the medium containing 0.05 mg/L 2,4-D,1 mg/L BAP, 0.8% agar, 30 g/L sucrose and 100 mg/L myo-inositol. Thus, the mass propagation of healthy strawberry could be established using leaf explants.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of LEDs on the fruit qualities of two strawberry (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa Duch.) cultivars such as hardness, phytochemicals, and antioxidant activity using the strawberry fruits, which were harvested by 50% and 100% ripening levels of fruits grown under LEDs illuminated during 6 hours after sunset from November 2018 to January of the following year. In the hardness of strawberry fruit, when two strawberry cultivars were illuminated red LED light, in 50% ripening as well as 100% ripening fruit of both 'Daewang' and 'Seolhyang' cultivars were significantly higher compared to other treatments. Also, in the sugar content on 50% ripening fruit of two cultivars, the fruit of red LED light was significantly higher than in the other LEDs and control. On the other hand, in the acidity of 50% and 100% ripening levels of strawberry fruit, the fruit under control condition was higher in than that of LEDs. The phenolic compounds of strawberry fruit grown in control was much higher than that of strawberry treated with LEDs. However, the influence of LEDs on flavonoid and anthocyanin content of strawberry fruit did not affected. Changes in the phytochemicals contents of the strawberry tends to be affected depending on the maturity of fruit. Antioxidant activity such as DPPH and ABTS of were not different by maturity of fruit, and supplementation of LEDs during 6 hours at night. Therefore, we concluded that lighting of LEDs is effective for fruit quality in terms of sugar accumulation and fruit hardness.

This study describes an efficient and widely applicable droplet-vitrification following cryopreservation for shoot tips of (Fragaria x ananassa DUCH. cvs. 'Derunoka' and 'Jumbo pure berry'. The shoot tips of strawberry were precultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with sucrose (0.3-0.7M). Precultured explants were treated with loading solution (LS, C4) containing glycerol 17.5% and sucrose 17.5% for 40 min and exposed to dehydration solution (B1) containing 50% of glycerol and 50% of sucrose for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$, and then transferred onto droplets containing $2.5{\mu}l$ PVS3 on sterilized aluminum foils ($4cm{\times}0.5cm$) prior to direct immersion in liquid nitrogen (LN) for 1 h. The highest regeneration rate (%) was obtained when shoot tips were precultured with treatment-2 (exposing of shoot tips to MS + 0.3M Sucrose for 30 h and then treated with MS+0.5 M sucrose for 16 h) at $25^{\circ}C$ in both the cultivars. The viability of cooled samples, followed by culturing on MS medium for 4 weeks was 77.8% and 60.0% for 'Derunoka' and 'Jumbo pure berry', respectively. This result shows droplet-vitrification would be a promising method for cryobanking strawberry germplasm.

This study was conducted to investigate the optimum electrical conductivity (EC) levels of nutrient solution for growth of mother plants and increasing occurrence of daughter plants of strawberry ($Fragaria{\times}ananassa$ Duch. cv. Maehyang) using hydroponics. The mother plants of strawberry were transplanted in cultivation pot ($61{\times}27{\times}18cm$) filled with coir medium on March 22, 2017. Nutrient solution was supplied by the drip tape at $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ of EC levels for rooting during 11 days. After rooting, the mother plants of strawberry was treated at the EC levels of 0.6, 1.2 or $1.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. Growth characteristics, such as mother plants and daughter plants of strawberry were measured at 100 days after transplanting. The plant height of mother plant was significantly higher at $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ treatment, and the crown diameter of mother plant was significantly greater at $1.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ treatment. The fresh and dry weights of shoot were higher at both 0.6 and, $1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ treatments. The number of runners was not significantly different in all treatments. The fresh and dry weights of runner were heavier at $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ than other treatments. The number of daughter plants was the highest, 16.7 at the $1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ treatment. However, the fresh and dry weights of third daughter plant were the heaviest at $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ treatment. Although the daughter plants were a large of production at $1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ treatment, the low EC levels of strawberry were positive in terms of seedling quality during nursery. These results indicated that growth of mother plant and occurrence of daughter plants were greater at the EC $0.6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ nutrient solution for hydroponic cultivation of 'Maehyang' strawberry during nursery period.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of application method and concentration of gibberellin $A_3$ ($GA_3$) on the growth, runner production, and seedling quality of strawberry plants (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa Duch. cv. Maehyang) during nursery period. The mother plants of strawberry were transplanted in pot ($64{\times}27{\times}18cm$) filled with commercial growing medium on March 20, 2018. $GA_3$ concentration was applied as 0, 50, 100 or $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ with spray or drench to 45 mL per plant at 4 weeks after transplanting, respectively. Nutrient solution was supplied with the EC $1.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ after the transplanting and supplied 350 mL per pot twice a day (15 min per one time) after rooting. The growth characteristics of mother plants of strawberry were measured at 7 weeks after treatment, and growth characteristics of daughter plants of strawberry were measured at 10 weeks after treatment. Runner length and diameter of mother plant was the longest or thickest in the spray with $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ than the other treatments, respectively. Soil-plant analysis development (SPAD) value of mother plant was the lowest in spray with $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. However, leaf length, leaf width, and crown diameter showed no significant differences in all treatment among application method and concentration of $GA_3$. As the concentration of $GA_3$ increased, physiological disorder like stretchiness of crown occurred more. The physiological disorder was the most occurred in spray treatment with $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, but drench treatment occurred less than spray treatment. The number of runners and daughter plants increased with increasing concentration of $GA_3$ regardless of application methods. In the growth characteristics of the daughter plants, leaf length and leaf width of first daughter plant, plant height, crown diameter, leaf area and SPAD value of second daughter plant, and plant height of third daughter plant were the significantly greatest in drench with $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ treatment. This results indicate that growth and runner production of mother plants and growth of daughter plants of strawberry were the best achieved by drench application in the $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$.

Plant regeneration via organogenesis from leaf and stipule explants of micropropagated shoots of strawberry (Fragaria $\times$ ananassa cv. Suhong) was achieved. Leaf and stipule explants were detached from shoot-tip cultured shoots and cultured on MS medium with various combinations of BA and NAA under light or dark condition. Shoot regeneration from leaf explant was observed after 3 weeks in culture and was good at the high ratio of BA and NAA among various combination treatments. The highest shoot regeneration frequency from leaf explants was obtained with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA, in which 31.1% shoot regeneration frequency(1.7 shoots per leaf explant) was yielded. In case of stipule explants, shoot regeneration was largely affected by plant growth regulators during incubation under dark condition for initial 4 weeks but not under continuous light condition. The combination treatment with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA showed the most excellent shoot regeneration from stipule explants, where 44.4% regeneration frequency(4.0 shoots per explants) obtained. Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA after shoot elongation, and the plantlets regenerated were transferred to soil mixtures with vermiculite and perlite for acclimation.

This study was carried out to determine suitable in vitro culture conditions of new ever-bearing strawberry ($Fragaria$ $ananassa$ Duch.), 'Goha'. Four-week old plantlets which were derived from the meristem culture were used in this study. Three different culture media including MS, Gamborg B5 and White medium were used for the plant culture and the medium concentrations were at the 5 levels of $1/3{\times}$, $1/2{\times}$, $1{\times}$, $2{\times}$ and $3{\times}$. Sucrose content ranged at four levels of 1, 3, 5 and 8% (w/v). Crown diameter on the MS medium was thicker (2.1 mm) than in other media. Fresh weight on the MS medium was 482 mg, which was heavier than 88 mg or 260 mg of Gamborg B5 or White medium, respectively. Particularly, 1/2MS medium was found to have higher growth rate than these in other treatments (fresh weight, dry weight and D/F rate). Shoot length in the treatment of 1% sucrose concentration was 3.6 cm which was the longest. Shoot length was in inverse proportion to the increasing concentration of sucrose. Fresh weight was increased up to 3% sucrose concentration, but decreased above 5% sucrose concentration. From the results, we found that the best condition for in vitro culture of new ever-bearing strawberry 'Goha' was 1/2MS medium supplemented with 1% sucrose concentration.

Starch contents play important roles in determining the fruit quality. Stawberry accumulates starch in the early stages and then mobilized into soluble sugars during fruit ripening. To date the molecular studies on the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), a key enzyme of starch biosynthesis, were not reported. cDNAs encoding small (FagpS) and large (FagpL1 and FaspL2) AGPase subunits were isolated from strawberry (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa Duch. cv. Niyobou). Both FagpS and FagpL1 cDNAs have open reading frames deriving 55-58 kDa polypeptides, where FagpL2 contains a partial fragment. Sequence analyses showed that FagpS has a glutamate-threonine-cysteine-leucine (ETCL) instead of a glutamine-threonine-cysteine-leucine (QTCL) motif found in all the dicot plants except for Citrus. In fruits, FagpS and FagpL1 were expressed in all stages with a little change in the amounts of transcripts. In the case of FagpL2, we were not able to detect any signal from all stages of fruit development and all tissues except for very a weak signal from the leaf. The results indicate that FagpL1 and FagpL2 show ubiquitous and leaf-specific expression patterns, respectively. The studies suggest that the starch contents in strawberry might be controlled by the expression of AGPase gene at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels during fruit development.
