Somaclonal variations in tissue cultures can be used in plant breeding programs. However, it is still unclear whether somaclonal variations and their original parent have differences in volatile compounds, and the candidate genes which result in the differences in volatile compounds also need to be identified. In this study, we utilized the ‘Benihoppe’ strawberry and its somaclonal mutant ‘Xiaobai’, which has different fruit aromas compared with ‘Benihoppe’, as research materials. Using HS-SPME-GC-MS, 113 volatile compounds have been identified in the four developmental periods of ‘Benihoppe’ and ‘Xiaobai’. Among them, the quantity and content of some unique esters in ‘Xiaobai’ were much higher than that in ‘Benihoppe’. In addition, we found that the contents and odor activity values of ethyl isovalerate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl pentanoate, linalool, and nerolidol in the red fruit of ‘Xiaobai’ were much higher compared with ‘Benihoppe’, which may result from the significantly increased expression of <i>FaLOX6</i>, <i>FaHPL</i>, <i>FaADH</i>, <i>FaAAT</i>, <i>FaAAT1</i>, <i>FaDXS</i>, <i>FaMCS</i>, and <i>FaHDR</i> in ‘Xiaobai’. However, the content of eugenol in ‘Benihoppe’ was higher than that in ‘Xiaobai’, which may result from the higher expression of <i>FaEGS1a</i> in ‘Benihoppe’ compared with ‘Xiaobai’. The results provide insights into the somaclonal variations that affect the volatile compounds in strawberries and can be used for strawberry quality improvement.
