title: Variation in the amounts of selected volatiles in a model population of fragaria × ananassa Duch. As influenced by harvest year.
abstract: Volatile metabolites are a basis for sensory and resistance traits of Fragaria × ananassa . Stability of expression is important for the selection of cultivars. For the first time, the stability of volatiles in a strawberry population after cross-combination of two distinct cultivars ('Mieze Schindler' × 'Elsanta') has been investigated. In this work, environmentally caused variations in the synthesis of 18 volatiles were studied over two years using a model population of 158 clones. The stability varied throughout the F1 seedling population between the two years, defining stable and unstable genotypes with respect to volatile synthesis. Most of the stable genotypes exhibited low values in relative volatile concentration. Merely 6 stable volatiles were detected in the parental cultivars, whereas about 40% of the F1 progeny had up to 11 stable volatiles. Consequently, a higher stability in volatile synthesis can be achieved by breeding.
