The article presents a comparative analysis of the ecological plasticity and stability of large-fruited strawberry varieties in the conditions of the Kamchatka region. As a result of statistical and regression analyses, varieties with high ecological plasticity of productivity (bi  > 1) and a positive response to improved growing conditions were identified, classified as intensive type: Pervoclassniza, Atlas, Japonka, Grenada, Festivalnay romashka, Galina, Fructovay; with low plasticity (bi < 1)-extensive type: Solnechnay polaynka, Corrado, Wengerca. Of particular value are the most stable in terms of productivity varieties of intensive type Galina and Fruit. A positive correlation of significant strength between the productivity of strawberry varieties and the coefficients of stability (r = 0,7) and plasticity (r = 0,6) was established, which shows the effectiveness of their use in assessing the adaptability of varieties. High-vitamin varieties with an average berry weight of at least 7,0 g, the most environmentally plastic and stable in vitamin C content, were identified: Atlas, Firework, Pervoclassniza, Fructovay. A comprehensive assessment of the parameters of adaptability in terms of fruit productivity and quality (vitamin C content, soluble solids, sugar-acid coefficient)established that the highest ecological plasticity and stability are possessed by high-vitamin varieties of intensive type Pervoclassniza and Fructovay.

During analysis of kiwifruit derived from hybrids between the high vitamin C (ascorbic acid; AsA) species Actinidia eriantha and A. chinensis, we observed bimodal segregation of fruit AsA concentration suggesting major gene segregation. To test this hypothesis, we performed whole-genome sequencing on pools of hybrid genotypes with either high or low AsA fruit. Pool-GWAS (genome-wide association study) revealed a single Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) spanning more than 5 Mbp on chromosome 26, which we denote as qAsA26.1. A co-dominant PCR marker was used to validate this association in four diploid (A. chinensis × A. eriantha) × A. chinensis backcross families, showing that the A. eriantha allele at this locus increases fruit AsA levels by 250 mg/100 g fresh weight. Inspection of genome composition and recombination in other A. chinensis genetic maps confirmed that the qAsA26.1 region bears hallmarks of suppressed recombination. The molecular fingerprint of this locus was examined in leaves of backcross validation families by RNA sequencing (RNASEQ). This confirmed strong allelic expression bias across this region as well as differential expression of transcripts on other chromosomes. This evidence suggests that the region harbouring qAsA26.1 constitutes a supergene, which may condition multiple pleiotropic effects on metabolism.
