Abstract
White-fruited mutants of Fragaria vesca, and one of F. x ananassa, were studied to determine the identity and quantity of major flavonols (FVLs), flavan-3-ols (FV3Ls), hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs), and ellagic acid (EA)-derived compounds, by using HPLC-MS. The content of 22 compounds across the major groups were used to assess the possibility of unique mutations among the mutant gentoypes. Total HCAs were lower in the white than the red cultivars of both species, except for 2 white F. vesca cultivars. Total FVLs were comparable in white fruit of both species, although a red F. x ananassa had more than a red F. vesca. Total FV3Ls were higher in red than white cultivars of both species. Total EA-derived content was generally higher in white than in red F. vesca. Principal component analysis and a combined heatmap and hierarchical cluster analysis clearly discriminated among the five white F. vesca genotypes.
