abstract = {Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) fruits are an excellent
source of L-ascorbic acid (AsA), a powerful antioxidant for
plants and humans. Identifying the genetic components
underlying AsA accumulation is crucial for enhancing
strawberry nutritional quality. Here, we unravel the genetic
architecture of AsA accumulation using an F1 population
derived from parental lines ‘Candonga’ and ‘Senga
Sengana’, adapted to distinct Southern and Northern
European areas. To account for environmental effects, the F1
and parental lines were grown and phenotyped in five
locations across Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Poland and
Spain). Fruit AsA content displayed normal distribution
typical of quantitative traits and ranged five-fold, with
significant differences among genotypes and environments.
AsA content in each country and the average in all of them
was used in combination with 6,974 markers for quantitative
trait locus (QTL) analysis. Environmentally stable QTLs for
AsA content were detected in linkage group (LG) 3A, LG 5A,
LG 5B, LG 6B and LG 7C. Candidate genes were identified
within stable QTL intervals and expression analysis in lines
with contrasting AsA content suggested that GDP-L-Galactose
Phosphorylase FaGGP(3A), and the chloroplast-located AsA
transporter gene FaPHT4;4(7C) might be the underlying
genetic factors for QTLs on LG 3A and 7C, respectively. We
show that recessive alleles of FaGGP(3A) inherited from both
parental lines increase fruit AsA content. Furthermore,
expression of FaGGP(3A) was two-fold higher in lines with
high AsA. Markers here identified represent a useful
resource for efficient selection of new strawberry cultivars
with increased AsA content.},
