Ripening can be induced by abscisic acid, specifically the process of sucrose accumulation as well as color acquisition and firmness. [19] While ethylene plays a major role in the ripening of climacteric plants, it still has effects in non-climacteric species as well. In strawberries, it was shown to stimulate color and softening processes.
Strawberries can be frozen or made into jam or preserves, [62] as well as dried and used in prepared foods, such as cereal bars. [63] In the United Kingdom, strawberries and cream is a popular dessert at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. [61] Desserts using strawberries include pavlova, [64] fraisier, [65] [66] and strawberry shortcake. [67]
Generally, fleshy fruits can be divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of a respiratory increase at the onset of ripening. This respiratory increase—which is preceded, or accompanied, by a rise in ethylene—is called a climacteric, and there are marked differences in the development of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits.

What Causes Good Greens To Go Bad. Unlike what the post suggests, leafy greens aren’t a major source of ethylene.But they are sensitive to produce that emits the gas. That’s why you should ...
Once again, strawberries have topped the "Dirty Dozen" list-- they are hailed as the fruit "most likely to be contaminated with pesticide residues even after they are picked, rinsed in the field ...
Seascape produces very large, firm fruit which have good color and flavor when picked ripe. They have a symmetric, medium to long conical berry with a glossy finish. This variety is highly tolerant of the virus diseases common in California, and is moderately susceptible to leaf rot. Seneca [3] Midseason Cornell/NYSAES 1992
Strawberry crown rot is a major disease here as it is in any productive growing region. [15] Genetic markers for CR resistance would make a significant difference in yield. [15] Shaw et al., 2008 is a starting point for such screening, using the markers they found. [15]
Ripe strawberries have a sweet, fragrant aroma, almost like a fancy strawberry candle or even cotton candy. They should smell pleasantly fruity, and if they’re really good, you shouldn’t even ...
