摘要:

草莓(Fragaria × ananassa)作为全球重要的经济浆果,其果实品质由外观、质地、风味与营养等多个性状共同决定,直接影响商品价值与产业竞争力。为突破传统育种瓶颈,系统解析果实品质形成的分子调控机制已成为分子设计育种的核心基础。本综述系统总结草莓果实颜色、硬度、大小、糖、酸、香气物质及抗氧化成分等关键品质性状的遗传调控基础,揭示了MYB、NAC、WRKY等转录因子在品质形成多层级调控网络的核心作用;进一步阐明了以脱落酸为核心、生长素和赤霉素等其他激素通过协同或拮抗互作来调控果实成熟与品质代谢的分子通路;并整合了温度、光照等环境因子,通过影响激素信号与转录因子活性,进而影响果实品质形成的机制。当前研究多基于二倍体野生草莓,对八倍体栽培种中多等位基因互作、复杂调控网络及基因型‒环境互作方面的研究仍存在明显不足。未来研究需结合多组学技术、CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑及人工智能预测模型,深入解析栽培草莓关键调控网络的等位变异功能,开发实用分子标记,构建智能设计育种体系,从而实现抗逆高产、轻简优质、种子繁殖型等符合未来产业需求的草莓新品种的定向选育。本综述为草莓品质的遗传改良提供理论依据,也为其他园艺作物的品质调控研究提供参考。

Abstract:

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), one of the world’s most economically important berry crops, its fruit quality is determined jointly by multiple traits such as appearance, texture, flavor, and nutritional composition. Commercial value and industrial competitiveness are directly influenced by these traits. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional breeding, the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying fruit quality formation have been systematically investigated, and this has been recognized as a foundational requirement for molecular design breeding. In this review, the genetic regulatory basis of key fruit quality traits, including color, firmness, size, sugar-acid balance, aroma compounds, and antioxidant constituents, has been comprehensively summarized. The central roles of transcription factors such as MYB, NAC, and WRKY in multi-level regulatory networks governing quality formation have been revealed. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that abscisic acid is utilized as a core hormone, while auxin and gibberellin are involved in synergistic or antagonistic interactions to regulate fruit ripening and quality metabolism at the molecular level. Environmental factors such as temperature and light have been shown to affect hormone signaling and transcriptional factor activity, and consequently, fruit quality formation has been modulated through these pathways. Current studies have been conducted based on diploid wild strawberries, whereas evident deficiencies have been identified in research concerning multiallelic interactions, complex regulatory networks, and genotype-environment interactions in octoploid cultivars. In future investigations, multi-omics technologies, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and artificial intelligence-based predictive models are expected to be integrated so that allelic variation functions within key regulatory networks of cultivated strawberry can be deeply dissected. Practical molecular markers are anticipated to be developed, and intelligent design breeding systems are to be constructed, thereby enabling the targeted breeding of novel strawberry varieties that exhibit enhanced stress tolerance, high yield, simplified cultivation, superior quality, and seed propagation capacity to meet future industrial needs.​ A theoretical foundation for the genetic improvement of strawberry quality has been provided by this review, and reference has also been offered for quality regulation research in other horticultural crops.
