Genetic variants associated with fruit phenotypes identified by genome-wide association studies in strawberry. GWAS statistics were estimated for fruit yield, count, weight, firmness, TSS, TA, TSS/TA (sugar-to-acid ratio), and ANC from the EMM of the parents and hybrids observed over the 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 growing seasons in Salinas, CA. The upper Manhattan plot in each mirror image pair displays statistics for $\text{elite}\times \text{elite}$ and $\text{elite}\times \text{exotic}$ hybrids combined ($n=469$), whereas the lower Manhattan plot in each pair displays statistics for $\text{elite}\times \text{elite}$ hybrids only ($n=356$). The horizontal dashed lines depict genome-wide significance thresholds of $5\times {10}^{-8}$.
