Both genetic and environmental factors affect the
production and accumulation of bioactive compounds
(BC) in strawberry fruits. Differences in nutritional
quality amongst strawberry cultivars are well known,
even if only a few genotypes are well characterized for
these important features. In addition to their nutritional
quality, berries also display sensorial attributes (color,
aroma, flavor) which are attractive and very important to
the consumer and therefore must be maintained in
