Response of Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) cv. Chandler to Different Doses of Gibberellic Acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of doses of gibberellic acid (GA3) were studied on the growth and performance of strawberry cultivar ‘Chandler’. GA3 was applied as foliar spray at three leaf stages @ 50, 75, 100 and 150 ppm. The applied GA3 @ 150 ppm significantly increased the plant height, leaf area index (LAI), crown size and fruit yield. However, this dose of GA3 (150 ppm) significantly decreased the shelf life and spoilage of fruit. Foliar application of GA3 @ 75 ppm significantly increased the fruit ascorbic acid content. It is inferred that exogenous application of GA3 @ 150 ppm could improve the yield and quality of strawberry fruits for better economic returns.

Strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa L.) is an important horticultural product that is highly acceptable because of its desirable taste, flavor, mineral elements, vitamins and secondary metabolites. Conventionally, strawberries are vegetatively propagated by runners arising from axillary buds on the plant crown. Plant propagation through runner produces a limited number of propagules. In the view of ...

Two genomic clones corresponding to putative pectate lyase genes (plA and plB) were isolated and characterized in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa cv. Chandler). The corresponding ORFs for the plA and plB genes revealed deduced proteins of 451 and 439 amino acids, respectively, that differ from that of the previously isolated strawberry plC gene. Southern blot analysis has shown that while the p...
