This particular gene helps the Arctic flounder fish produce an antifreeze protein to protect itself in cold water environments. Therefore, when this gene is introduced into the sky-blue strawberry variety, the fruit can withstand longer periods under normal weather conditions, without quickly becoming soft, rotten, or spoiled like traditional strawberries.

In addition to their unique color, sky-blue strawberries also have a longer shelf life compared to red or yellow strawberries when stored and transported.

Like other types of strawberries, they are grown from seeds. However, the widespread availability of this unique fruit and its seeds in the market is still limited.
