A cDNA encoding a putative translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) was isolated from a cDNA library made with mRNA isolated from red ripe strawberry fruits. This protein is highly conserved in all species analyzed. Expression of strawberry TCTP increased along the ripening of strawberry fruits, and is constitutively expressed in vegetative tissues. The putative function of this protein remains still unknown
