Strawberries by design

Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) and the Department of Horticulture in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech have developed a new procedure for the efficient transfer of specific DNA sequences into the genome of strawberry. The scientists have used Agrobacterium tumefaciens, nature's genetic engineer, to introduce DNA into the woodland or alpine s...

A natural chemical found in strawberries boosts memory in healthy mice

Mothers have long exhorted their children to eat their fruit and vegetables. But once kids are beyond mom's watchful eye, the hated greens often go the way of Barbie dolls and power rangers. Now, there's another reason to reach for colorful fruits past adolescence. Fisetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid commonly found in strawberries and other fruits and vegetables, stimulates signaling...

Red Color Causes The Allergic Reaction To Strawberries

The tempting red color of strawberries may be the culprit for the allergic reaction some people suffer// when eating the popular summer fruit, Swedish researchers say. "The allergen is in some way or other related to the red color, but it is not clear exactly how. We need to investigate more proteins," Rikard Alm of Lund University said. Alm was quoted in the magazine Chemis...

Designer Strawberries

Researchers at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) and the Department of Horticulture in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech have developed a new procedure for the efficient transfer// of specific DNA sequences into the genome of strawberry. The method takes advantage of Agrobacterium's circular DNA molecule (T-DNA) to deliver DNA to the plant. By helping resea...

Eating Strawberries may boost memory

According to researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, fisetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, normally present in strawberries// and other fruits and vegetables, invigorates signaling pathways that boost long-term memory. This study was published in this week’s Online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Memory and recall miseries...
