BACKGROUND: Water soaking (WS) is an economically important surface disorder in open-field production of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). The disorder, which impairs fruit quality and quantity, develops after exposure of maturing fruit to rain or high concentrations of water vapor. The susceptibility to WS differs among genotypes, suggesting a genetic component, with earlier studies establishing a close positive...
