Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) belongs to the Rosaceae family. It has been cultivated in Europe since the 18th century, and is a hybrid of Fragaria chiloensis (Chilean strawberry) and Fragaria virginiana (Virginia strawberry, native to the eastern United States). Strawberries are widely cultivated and consumed worldwide due to their charming appearance, good taste, nutrition, and health promoting properties, making them a fruit with great economic value (Song et al., 2023).
