Twenty different strawberry genotypes from phenolic compound content and genetic diversity have been investigated. Twelve phenolic derivatives in the strawberry fruit extracts, their total phenolic content (TPC) and their radical scavenging activity have been quantified.In order to study the influence of the genetic basis of each cultivar (cv) on the chemical composition of fruits, Principal Component Analysis of the obtained data was also used. Significant differences in the content of individual anthocyanins among the 20cvs have been found. Pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside was the predominant anthocyanin in the strawberry extracts with 61.0% of the total anthocyanins in Salva cv, followed by cyanidin 3-O-glucoside. TPC values ranged from 129,96 (Laica cv) to 269,04 (Naiad cv) mg of gallic acid equivalent per 100g of fresh weight and it was congruent previous studies. Moreover RAPD markers have been applied in order to describe their genetic relationships. A total of 32decamer primers were used in RAPD analysis; 19 of them provided at least one polymorphic band, the remaining primers were monomorphic. A total of 124 bands were detected with the mean number of 11.53 accountable fragments per primer and 59.98% were polymorphic. The results of the present study highlighted the health-promoting compound content of strawberry fruits, and provided a good prospect for discriminating strawberries by phenolic content and genetic analysis.
